Carla Galarza '13, JMC Fellow 2013-2014

This fellowship provided me the opportunity to explore a variety of fields I was curious about like, graphic design and film. I appreciated that I was given the freedom and encouraged to pick projects that interested me. This fellowship also exposed me to other career opportunities within the library.

Matthew Castellana '12, JMC Fellow 2012-2013

I would tell future fellows to take advantage of all the resources and opportunities that you have during your time at the fellowship. Jones has a lot of great technology, teaching tools, and people who are willing to work with you.

Christina Cortland '10, JMC Fellow 2010-2011

Without the fellowship, I wouldn't have had the relevant experience to be hired in the first place, and I may not have had the confidence to be able to keep up as the company grew from 20 people to 150.

Jeremy Seidling '09, JMC Fellow 2009 - 2010

The JMC fellowship pretty much defined my career trajectory!  Ever since my fellowship I have been working in some form of educational technology, loosely defined. While at the JMC I discovered a passion for helping people learn how to use technology, and to use technology to help people.
