CAM CONNECT
Welcome to CAM Connect!
CAM Connect is an outreach program for high school classes and teachers to engage their students in Visual Arts, Filmmaking, and the Music Industry. This program is being promoted through the College of Arts & Media at the University of Colorado Denver.
Students will be able to attend a 30-45 minute video presentation (Zoom or other video conferencing software) with one of our faculty on a variety of topics. The presentation will also allow time for the students to ask questions of our CAM Faculty about their experiences in the arts and media fields in addition to their academic and career journeys that led to where they are now. Below are short synopses and bios from our CAM Faculty who will presenting.
