69传媒

The 69传媒Alumni Office is hosting this event as part of 2024 Homecoming events.

Justin Shaw (BA'14) is a proud alumnus of the 69传媒. Since graduating in 2014, he has gained professional experience in the performing arts, the non-profit sector, and the business world. He credits much of his eclectic portfolio to the skills acquired and honed during his time as an undergraduate at UPEI. Join this entertaining presentation as he aims to provide a compelling answer to the oft-grating question: What can you do with an arts degree?

The presentation will include a conversation and Q&A session facilitated by Dr. Gregory Doran, co-ordinator of Theatre Studies, and will conclude with refreshments.
