Fall Newsletter
Welcome to the fall term, and welcome to our 17th cohort of Master of Digital Media students and our 7th cohort of Pre-Master of Digital Media students! We were thrilled to return to welcoming our new students onto campus in person, during our annual orientation week.
Lots of changes are happening around the campus! If you missed the announcement, Departure Lounge launched Canada's first Metastage in The Hangar earlier this year, and is already doing revolutionary things in the space.
Our neighbourhood continues to be transformed by the Broadway Subway Project. The first tunnel boring machine (TBM) has been launched from Great Northern Way, which is a critical milestone in the project and begins the next phase of construction activity. Check out BSP’s Twitter feed for the latest updates on what's happening in the area, and how it might affect your visit to our campus.
On your next visit to the campus, you may see many new faces, including our new Director of Programs and Innovation, Mary Lim. Check out our staff page to learn more about the current CDM team.
Our admissions team is prepared to evaluate a new round of applicants for the Master of Digital Media and Pre-Master of Digital Media programs. Applications for both programs are now open, and close on February 6th. Interested in learning more about the program and how to apply - or know someone who is? Register for an upcoming free webinar to learn more!
