Hunter says that the support she received from the Communication and Media Arts program and Associate Professors Dan Hunt, MFA and Erin Greenwell, MFA, is what helped make her transition after college successful. “One thing I appreciated about MMC was having the freedom to make projects we wanted to make and not be limited to a rubric,” she says. “That really set the tone to try to think outside of the box, which really helped after college.”

Congratulations, Kenan!
