Diana Cardenas

"I chose to attend EIU initially because I aspired to be a web developer and there was a major that encompassed this profession. Although I remained a digital media student, I focused more on the communication and marketing aspect of digital media. The instructors and courses within my major allowed me to dip my hand into the many aspects of digital media. With their guidance, I was able to pinpoint the exact area that I would like to be a part of professionally."
