The numerous achievements of SCAD’s motion media design students – from top honors at the Art Directors Club Awards and Red Dot Communication Design Awards to the red carpet, where an interdisciplinary team of students won the 2017 Student Emmy Award for ‘Best Scripted Series’ – evince the professional focus imbued in the SCAD academic experience.
