DIGITAL & INTERACTIVE MEDIA ARTS: STUDENT LIGHTNING TALK PRESENTATIONS: Students in the DIMA 300 course: Digital and Interactive Technologies will be giving 3-minute presentations on their final senior thesis topics, which run the gamot from virtual reality, short films, and websites, among other computer science, art and media production projects.
