Kearny DMD Seniors Mentor Freshmen

On Tuesday, September 4th, Kearny Digital Media and Design (DMD) seniors shared their elevator pitch and digital portfolio with new freshmen. “It is a goal we’ve had for years within our defense structure and schoolwide outcomes and we are thrilled to begin fostering these relationships more intentionally,” says DMD vice principal, Rob Meza-Ehlert. Freshmen were prepared with a handout to take notes during the senior mentorship experience and reflected together afterwards about how this helps them understand the DMD model of project-based learning. Seniors had an opportunity to practice their elevator pitch which they will use when they meet and collaborate in their senior internships this fall. DMD plans to design several opportunities this fall for the seniors and freshmen to work together to build a deeper understanding of the “DMD way.”
