The SCMA Student Showcase
In 2020 Prof. Golda developed and launched the SCMA Student Showcase website as a way of closing the loop on student learning in The School of Communication, Media, and the Arts. Previously, Golda coordinated the in-person Media Arts eXhibition, known as THE MAX at which students would display their work. Because of the pandemic the event moved online and now resides here.

Democratic technologies
Started in 2000, Democratic Technologies was initiated to give students their first experience in creating digital media for the new and exciting frontier of the WWW. So here we are 18 years later and the course work remains vital to getting that digital presence into the flow of an ever converging stream of media. While the tools have certainly changed, the expression of self and the need for producers that are both ethical and community oriented is greater than ever. DemTech strives to offer students an immersive experience in an ever-expanding digital toolbox they can use wherever their carers take them. Projects often start from an art-history P.O.V. and seek to bring theory and practical concerns together. https://demtech224.weebly.com/
