COMMENTS & FEEDBACK
“Dwight is the best professor I have had by far. I wish he taught more courses, especially 3rd year, as he has tons of wisdom and beneficial feedback about getting into the workplace. Dwight's classes not only prepared me academically for his course and other courses in my program but for the outside world and my future as well.”
“Dwight is one of the few professors encouraging you to trust yourself and your "superpower". He treats you as a professional, not a student, and enables you to choose your creative assignments to make something you'll love for a portfolio.”
