Our Film & Digital Arts department was honored to present student animation and video game projects at UNM’s Undergraduate Research Opportunity Conference (UROC) on Friday, April 11.
This was a meaningful and exciting opportunity to highlight undergraduate research through live presentations, an animation screening, and an interactive video game playtest. We were thrilled to see such a great turnout, with many attendees engaging in thoughtful conversations and hands-on exploration.
We hope this event helps bring greater visibility to the innovative research happening in animation and game design. We look forward to showcasing more student work in the future!
