See film scholarship fund in Tara's memory.



For the past 22 years at UMHB, I have worked at helping my students and alumni
find jobs and ministries in which they can use their creative and artistic talents.

I have found that their working with professional people in their industries is key.

Networking, networking, networking in professional communities,  face-to-face and via
e-technologies is critical in most cases.

All of my students, starting as freshmen, work for organizations, intern, attend meetings, participate in

projects, and connect with e-communities with professionals in their career fields.  Many of them

have thought out-of-the-box of traditional categories to find jobs in which they can use their creative skills.
