This research poster will share how we have attempted to develop an inclusive learning culture in a diverse professional graduate program in interactive media. We will draw on student interviews and programmatic evaluation data to explore (1) the role of the advising process; (2) the design of curricular and co-curricular opportunities; and (3) the messaging provided to students prior to and following admission. We reflect on facilitating meaningful learning experiences that allow students to pivot between academic and professional learning objectives, and demonstrate how best practices are not ad hoc, but programmatically designed and implemented by all faculty.
