Student Experiences
Jenna Gersie, CU English PhD Candidate
The certificate opened up opportunities for cross-disciplinary work and allowed me the opportunity to meet colleagues in other departments, which is really valuable at such a large university.
Greg Gondwe, Assistant Professor, Communication, CSUSB | CU Journalism PhD
The certificate taught me basic analytical skills that helped me complete my doctoral dissertation with great confidence [and] was helpful in finding a job, because it presented me as possessing unique skill sets that most applicants did not have.
Wendy Norris, Assistant Professor, Social Computing, Nazareth College | CU Information Science PhD
During my job search, the DH certificate was highly prized by liberal arts colleges' computer science departments that were seeking interdisciplinary collaborations. I was told by the鈥earch committee that the certificate was a crucial tipping point in my candidacy and was very advantageous in negotiating my current position.
Joe Hatfield, Assistant Professor, Communication, University of Arkansas | CU Communication PhD
Each of the three courses I completed to obtain the DH certificate were immensely beneficial to my dissertation research. 鈥� I really enjoyed my time in courses that contributed to the DH certificate, and I still use much of what I learned in them.
Eva Danayanti, Founder, DH Indonesia | CU Journalism MA
DH has inspired me to initiate a DH community in Indonesia through journalists' networks and communication/journalism communities in Indonesia. ...My certificate as DH specialization was the major factor for me to get this achievement.
Brandon Daniels, CU Communication PhD Candidate
The certificate聽opened up a world of tools and methods that transformed my research agenda. It also introduced me to a community of scholars that are exploring the principles and ethics associated聽with digital research, which is an essential resource for anyone interested in the role of technology in society.
Kate Sedor, CU English MFA Candidate
聽DHUM 5000 was so helpful in allowing me to break out of the boxes we often find ourselves in as academics (and even as creatives). The ability to do cross-disciplinary work, with colleagues I never would have met if I hadn't taken the class, forced me to re-examine my own conceptions of what "counts" as art. I'm grateful to have been given the space to explore how DH can apply to my own work, and to celebrate creative expression in a completely new way.
