What are you looking forward to most about the conference?

I’m very much looking forward to VALE being back in person. What made VALE different was being able to speak with Media Industry leaders right on our campus and to have that back is honestly amazing.

What do you wish people knew about the conference? 

I honestly wish people knew more about the Conference in general. VALE conference is among the best opportunities students get to talk and network with major people in the Media Industry, and I think this is a great opportunity for any student at LVC, even if you’re not in the Music or DMT Department.
