Meet Our Graduates
Ben DeCrease
After an internship at WSU Libraries and after graduating from the DTC program in Spring, 2007, Ben began work for a well established antiquarian bookseller in downtown Seattle. His duties in the rare book trade entail pricing and describing collectible books, facilitating online and in-store sales, customer relations, and minimal conservation. A degree in Digital Technology & Culture was helpful in bolstering his abilities as a technical writer and marketer, and most importantly sparked a love of writing, technology, and epistemology. Ben's short-term goal is to obtain a Masters in Library Science and work abroad.
Geneva Drouin
| Geneva works as a Coordinator for Afghan eQuailty Alliances, a USAID funded cooperative agreement to provide equal access to quality education and e-education resources for the higher education system in Afghanistan. Her DTC degree sparked her employer's interest because it combines a variety of skills and fields. |  |
Seth Burnett
Seth is an interactive designer at Imageworks. As a part of his job he designs and builds websites, designs logos and helps build web and Flash-based corporate training. Where DTC has recently come into play in his career has been in logo and interface design. With logos, DTC has helped Seth think about how to treat the typeface (i.e. using different font weights, colors, capitalizations, etc.). In regards to interface design, the courses that talked about and experimented with how people might interact with a website have been helpful to Seth and will prove to be crucial as he is given more sites to design and concept.

Brian Ricketts
Brian graduated in 2005 and had an interview the following week for a fast growing local ISP. He applied as an "Internet Technical Support Technician." He is now learning other jobs and quickly moving up with responsibility and pay. The DTC program helped me in many ways, the obvious is a four year DTC degree from WSU looks great on a resume. But one main thing Brian learned from the DTC degree is people/verbal skills for his rather fast-paced job. He also writes up proposals for new jobs that he takes on and new equipment that is needed for those jobs. In his time on the job he has learned rather fast using the Web building skills, the writing skills and overall computer skills all credited to the DTC program. On a side note, Brian says he loves his job! Top
