SMADLink Now Open
SMADlink connects people wanting media project assistance with SMAD students wanting to improve their portfolios and gain valuable production experience. Think of SMADlink as a media production bulletin board to post project ideas for interested SMAD students. Examples of projects include non-class student projects, JMU related projects, local business projects and not for profit projects. Submitting a request does not guarantee that someone will fufill the request, but every effort will be made to connect worthwhile projects with the creative and technical talent possessed by SMAD students.

Hello everyone!!! So after working part-time for months throwing my resume's out everywhere I finally landed a job for the new 'AA' Baseball affiliate of the San Fransisco Giants Baseball team. I am working right now as thier In-Game Entertainment Coordinator so those SMAD Studio Production classes are coming in handy as I pretty much am running the show from our pressbox. It is long hours and a lot of Photoshop as well but if anyone is interested in internships or seasonal media jobs for the summer please feel free to contact me.
