New Student Survey Questions
1. Where did you move from to attend the UO? And, briefly describe how you landed on the UO AAD program. Any interesting, funny, anecdotal stories/details are welcome.
I moved from Tacoma, Wash. I did my undergrad degree in piano performance at Pacific Lutheran University. Arts Management seemed like a perfect fit for my experience in music and my administrative skill set. I applied all over the country and ended up and the closest and cheapest option: University of Oregon.
2. Area of concentration in AAD?
Performing Arts
3. Describe your knowledge and use of technology systems.
I’m not sure if this is what you mean by “technology systems”, but I use my Mac and my iPhone a lot.
4. What software do you commonly use? Briefly describe purpose/application for software on your list.
I use Microsoft Word the most. I write papers and take notes in it, but I also design posters and fliers in Word.
5. Do you have any graphic design or media production/management experience? Have you taken any graphic design or media production courses?
I was on my high school’s newspaper staff. I did a lot of layout work in InDesign, a little bit of PhotoShopping, and a lot of writing and editing. With that experience, I’ve designed t-shirts for my tennis team and church groups.
6. Know anything about typography?
Not a wink.
7. Do you use Web (2.0) apps? Name those that you use or are familiar with.
I’m not sure I would know if I WERE using a Web (2.0) app.
8. Do you use Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Vine, Yelp, etc.)? Name those that you engage in.
Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Snapchat. Limited experience with Twitter.
9. Tell me something unique about yourself.
I love Disneyland, and I can quote most Disney movies.
