Advisory committees play a critical role in the operation of Â鶹¹û¶³'s professional-technical programs. Through their members, they provide a cross-section of expertise and experience to effectively influence the direction and momentum of Â鶹¹û¶³'s programs.
The Media Arts Advisory Committee
In Media Arts, our committee brings together local industry leaders from advertising, graphic design, sound design, audio/video production, web design, publishing, photography, and arts education. By also including local high school partners and current students in our programs, the committee creates a direct bridge from education to employment. Together, these members ensure our curriculum stays ahead of industry trends, guide our funding decisions, and build a stronger creative workforce for Â鶹¹û¶³ County.
