4th year Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication students share their excitement for upcoming industry practicums
IDES 490 Industry Practicum is an experiential learning course that takes place primarily off campus. Students work within a studio/agency environment or with a personal mentor in a capacity related to visual communication.
We reached out to the busy IDEA19 graduating students to see how they’re feeling about their upcoming 2-month industry practicums and share a bit about the process of choosing their practicum hosts last Fall.
Feedback ranged from equally excited and terrified to SUPER STOKED!
