To be a PMA Major/Minor in 2024 is to enter a creative world where you receive training and opportunities that equip you to become responsible, ethical creative professionals. But one of the many problems with entering in the media industries of film, television, and theater lies with the lack of clear pathways to careers and gainful employment.
In this series we call “What’s Next?!”, PMA faculty Dr. Kristen Warner will lead four workshop sessions that begin to help answer that question. The focus of each session will address a range of topics from internships and graduate programs (MFAs, critical studies MA/PhD) to the dreaded art of writing cover letters/personal statements.
- Wednesday, October 30, 5:45 p.m. - 7:15 p.m.: Writing Cover Letters and Statements of Purpose for Creative Industry (Academia/Internships)
- Monday, November 4, 5:15 p.m. - 6:45 p.m.: Applying for MFAs (Film/Screenwriting)
- Monday, November 11, 5:15 p.m. - 7:15 p.m.: Internships—How to Get them and Why You Want One
- Tuesday, November 12, 5:45 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.: Applying for MA/ PhD programs/MFAs (Media studies/Design/Production)
We will also have some special professional guests Zoom in and offer specialized guidance about beginning a creative industry career post-grad.
So if you find yourself needing clarity about how the skills you’re developing in class can help you build a career? Join us.
Priority is given to Majors/Minors but all who are interested in PMA are welcome to attend. Contact Dr. Warner (kjw247@cornell.edu) for more information!
