Alumni Spotlight

David BakerMotion Picture/Television
David Baker couldn't ask for a better education than the one he received while a student in College of DuPage's Motion Picture/Television program. "The department is set up so that you can get exactly what you want out of it," he said. "The teachers are willing to offer their advise, but they also are willing to step aside and allow you to figure it out on your own if you so choose."
