This is one of the reasons why enjoy I teaching so much. You do your thang “General” Justin, I’m very proud of you.

To all my professors,
I wanted to firstly thank you for the great education all of you gave me over the past five years while I was at Drexel. I have a new appreciation for what it is like to teach college students from my brief encounter with the job last year. The work and the effort you have put into the Digital Media program has been tremendous. When I came to Drexel, I had no knowledge of 3d programs and was not very familiar with drawing either but together you helped shaped me into the artist I have become.

I wanted to thank you all as well as inform you that I recently accepted a job working for Dreamworks Animation Studios as a lighting Technical Assistant. I am looking forward to the experience of working on a large team on movies, which has been my dream since I started at Drexel University and I know I am up to the challenge from all that you have taught me over the years.
Thanks for five great years of learning and the best of luck in shaping many more artists.
Sincerely
Justin Dobies
