Student Clubs/Organizations Highlights
Our ViT program participates in the Skills USA competition every year in the areas of Advertising Design, and Graphics Communications. We have seen much success in these competitions over the years.

 

Community Involvement
Our students often participate in design contests for actual projects. We match students to projects that develop their skills. This is a great way to teach students about client relations and makes the projects a lot more fun because they are real.
