The AEMM grad students rap about their first year at Columbia College Chicago

Twitter is such a funny thing. You’re limited to the briefest of responses, and you have to be very good at editing, making up new words, and abbr. words, to fit everything you might want to say into such a limited character set. I recently read an older article from the New York Times that claimed that this abbreviated form of conversation is actually honing dialogue skills rather than dismantling them. Whether that’s true or not is a subject for another post, but these honed and candid answers regarding the AEMM program are loads of fun. Click onward to see the conversation as it happened…

#AEMMgrad Chat

The Arts, Entertainment & Media Management graduate students had a chat with Professor Kelly Page and Professor Dawn Larsen, faculty of the AEMM department. The following is the result of that conversation.

I wanted a hands-on kind of program. Where we learn about things and immediately apply them. Plus Chicago is awesome #aemmgrad
