back in 2008, prior to the formation of EMDA as a major at SOU, I can safely say I love this program! One of the things that I feel you will hear often about EMDA is the diversity in the curriculum: the nature of it being emerging will continue to keep things fresh and varied. For myself, the biggest thing that attracted me to EMDA was the diversity of the staff and people involved, there is a multitude of ideas and passions all of which are nourished and helped by the greater community within EMDA. I already had a degree in Graphic Design when I returned to SOU to pursue EMDA, while my previous education helped to form me as a student EMDA continues to help me as a professional and a person who can contribute to others. I love this program, here is to 10 more years of growth, Innovation, Diversity, and Community!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section
