We also had a load-in day to make sure that all the systems worked correctly, as well as using that day to extend the classroom and use the time with the students to further their learning in a different environment. It is great working with students outside of the normal classroom setting to show applications in different scenarios,” said John Sheldon, a Course Director in the 显示生产 program.

“We were really happy to help out at Fox Fest,” added Dana Roun, Education Director of 满帆’s Audio 艺术s degree programs. “Over the years 满帆 staff has worked in various ways to support WPRK — from technical support to on-air DJs. We wanted to take another step, so we brought along the 满帆 on Tour vehicle and set up our mobile Stageline for bands to preform on. The crew had a great experience working the show, and all agreed the bands were great!”
