What Communication & the Arts Alumni are Saying

Liberty helped me to be confident enough to go into any situation and hold my own. I’m not going to know everything, but it taught me the skills to figure out and ask questions and know how to interact with people on set.

My internship really helped put what I had learned into practice and made it come alive. Things I had learned in class, once I got here I was able to see them happening in front of me. It really helped me to have a much better understanding.

Tatum Sheppard | Theatre Arts
