To be a PMA Major/Minor in 2025 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 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.
October 23: 5:00-6:40 pm, Conference room 220: Internships—How to Get them and Why You Want One
October 28: 5:00-6:30 pm, Reading room 124: Applying for MFAs (Narrative Film Production/Screenwriting)
November 3: 5:00-6:15 pm, Conference room 220: Writing Cover Letters and Statements of Purpose for Creative Industry (Academia/Internships)
November 11: 5:00-6:15 pm, Conference room 220: Applying for MA/ PhD programs/MFAs (Media studies/Design/Production)
In the sessions, we will have professional guests Zoom in to offer specialized guidance about their industries, experiences, and advice.
So if you find yourself needing clarity about how the skills you’re developing in class can help you build a career? Join us.
