Ethical decisions in the world of Facebook and Twitter can sometimes be a little hazy and may not seem wrong right off the bat. In an article written by Erik Sherman , it discusses how the military plans on implementing software [...]

For my animation video I decided I would make something that pretty much encompassed all the shenanigans that we deal with at undergraduate admissions. This is kind of a ‘day in the life’ type of video. Enjoy!! p.s. I just realized that this is set in a police office… woops didn’t mean to do that [...]
