STUDENT RESOURCES
Happy Thoughts
I created this Facebook group with Jeff Williams in 2011, our students from creative advertising courses use it as a platform to exchange links, network and get feedback from each other. It has been a great resource for all of the group members, especially as the group grows and former students share experiences about their first jobs. This group has also enhanced our teaching by allowing us to share links that can be viewed at students own leisure, as well as a place to extend classroom discussions.
