It's that time again! We are looking for 5 local businesses who’d love to receive two free custom, holiday-themed promotional social media graphics and a highlight reel (video) designed and shot by our 2nd-Year Graphic Design students!

Here’s what we’re looking for:
- Located in Watertown
- Active email communicator (we’ll send quick questions and proofs!)
- Willing to support and collaborate with students as part of their real-world design experience

📅 Interested businesses should contact us by Friday, October 30 at 5 PM to be considered! Graphics will be delivered November 20, just in time for Thanksgiving weekend and the start of the holiday season!

If you’re interested, send us an email @ [email protected]. We’d love to partner with you and spread some holiday cheer while giving our students hands-on design experience!

Our second-year Software Development students recently wrapped up their AI-Assisted Project Review presentations and are now moving into the development phase!

Our new Accelerated Development with AI course is off to a great start! Students are learning how to leverage AI tools throughout the development process while continuing to apply their programming, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills.

Congrats to our CIS team for taking 3rd place during last week’s Homecoming festivities!

We loved seeing our students having fun at Breakout’s escape room, getting involved on campus, and making memories outside the classroom!

The CIS Department is back in full swing! We’re excited to kick off another year of learning, creating, troubleshooting, and everything in between.

From first projects to final capstones, we’re looking forward to seeing what our students build this year! Here’s to another great year!

When Nick entered the Networking & Cybersecurity program, he knew he wanted a hands-on technology career but had limited knowledge of cybersecurity. Through supportive instructors, industry-relevant curriculum, certifications, and internship opportunities, he built the skills and confidence needed to succeed. He now does IT for the City of Watertown.

Thank you for sharing your story, Nick!

One of the best parts of learning is seeing what you and your classmates can create.

For 2024 graduate Elijah Grams, the Graphic Design & Digital Communications program provided opportunities to build everything from cinematic videos to functional ecommerce websites while developing a diverse creative skill set.

Today, Elijah is applying those same skills as a graphic designer right here in Watertown. 🙌

This summer, we are sharing stories from our alumni and highlighting the impact the Computer Information Systems department has had on their careers.

Every student's journey is different, but one thing remains the same: the support, opportunities, and hands-on learning they experience along the way!

Thank you for sharing your journey, Trent! 👏
