ICT SHSM Student Testimonials
"I just got an email saying I got into the Interactive Multimedia & Design program at Carleton University! I thought of emailing you because I knew that I would not have this opportunity if it weren't for you and the ICT SHSM. All the experience and knowledge I learned from the SHSM serves as a great foundation to build on in post-secondary education. I got admitted into all the tech programs that I applied to. Thank you so much for the opportunities you've provided me throughout these past 2 years!
Sincerely,
Future Raven, Emmalyn Koromah"
