Congratulations class of 2017!

On Sunday May 21, the ETC honored 72 new alumni as we held the 2017 Diploma Ceremony at Heinz Field.  Following dinner, with fellow classmates, family, ETC faculty and staff the latest group of graduates received their Master of Entertainment Technology degrees from Carnegie Mellon University.

This year, we had ETC alumnae Shanna Tellerman(05) give the class charge and accept The ETC Alumni Award.  Given to honor alumni who exemplify leadership and innovation in entertainment technology fields through their engaging and inspiring work, Shana is only the second recipient of the alumni award.
