Digital Media Commons Mission


Digital Media Commons


The mission of the Digital Media Commons (DMC) is to connect the Monterey Institute of International Studies to the world through digital media. The Digital Media Commons provides opportunities for students, faculty and staff to develop, produce and distribute digital media projects that can document achievements, strengthen professional connections, and raise the Institute’s visibility.

The DMC Staff has spent some of the Winter Term developing and improving the use of the new iMacs.

A "Key" is being developed to help students and faculty navigate through the computer and its programs.
