Open Letter to Students

Greetings,

My name is Mark Connelly Wilson and I look forward to meeting with you online or in person to share with you how Arts Digital Media and Communications at Austin Community College can be a part of your future!

My takeaway goal for our meeting is to answer any questions you might have and make you aware about the programs we have as part of Arts Digital Media and Communications “area of study” at Austin Community College, and to also share with you some of my experiences as an industry professional in the radio, film, television, video game, music, and theater industries which might help you decide what field you might want to pursue professionally and academically.
Power Your Creativity with a Digital-Age Education. Did you know? Whether a student’s creative calling involves design, communication, performance, or production, Austin Community College’s Arts, Digital Media, and Communications Area of Study offers more than a dozen program areas to hone and channel their talents into a rewarding career. With classes that focus on creative development, ACC gives students the best professors, creative collaborations, and digital tools to pursue and develop what they are passionate about.

Students at ACC who choose a department under Arts Digital Media and Communications, can choose from more than 45 credential options to prepare them for working in a variety of industries, or they can pick up transferable credits in a wide range of specialties.

Professionally and personally speaking, I have worked: as an actor and magician in films and on stage, as a performing and studio musician playing many instruments and singing, a film and video game composer, a radio disc jockey, voice talent and voice over producer, a software developer, a live sound and studio audio engineer and post production mixer, a videographer and director of photography, a VFX compositor and video editor, a film director and producer, a jeweler, and an educator.

I want to share my breadth of knowledge to help you decide what career interests you most and how you might best achieve your educational and career goals!
