SCCA was the best career decision I've made so far. The combination of an ever-evolving curriculum and professors currently working in their fields keeps the graduates on the cutting edge of the industry. The rigorous course work and many group projects were excellent training grounds to compose a good work ethic.
I found an internship out of school from a connection through one of my professors who recommended me for the position. After a great first week at Starbucks, I wholeheartedly thank every one of the SCCA faculty for giving me the confidence, education, and skill set that makes me feel prepared every morning.
Alumni Profile
My job title is graphic designer, or just designer. My day-to-day is actually not quite as cut and dry as you might think. I'm always working on graphic design projects, but there's the media day that we have to plan, and I help on photo shoots, and we review other work that's tied to the Kraken.
