Photos from 2016 Summer Intensive

A dozen incoming students were on campus the week of July 20 for the 2016 Pathways to Excellence in Media, Communication and Information Summer Intensive. The intensive is a residential workshop that prepares incoming CMCI freshmen for academic success in the college's areas of study. Students get the chance to make their own advertising campaigns and multimedia projects, receive math and writing instruction and tour newsrooms and ad agencies. Here are few photos of their adventures, captured by CMCI student Gabriel Rodriguez.
