Name: Dan Whiting
Program: Digital Design
Expected Graduation Date: April 2007

After Dan heard the things his friend said about Winter Park Tech, he decided to check things out for himself. "I knew someone who had recently graduated from the Web Design program, and they spoke very highly of the school." So Dan joined the Digital Design program. "I’m 38, so this is going to be a second career for me."

Only two months into the program, Dan has already learned more than he hoped for. "I feel like I’ve learned a tremendous amount. And not just on the technical aspects of Digital Design, but also on the business-side applications, such as the importance of meeting deadlines and working with real clients. It’s pretty exciting to learn something new and turn that knowledge into something creative."

The structure of the Digital Design program has allowed Dan to stretch his creative boundaries. "The Digital Design program is structured so you can learn at your own pace. So, what you put into it is what you’re going to get out. I’m putting a lot into this and I’m getting back more than I hoped."
