Meet Department Head Heather Elliott-Famularo! Heather joined the DMD family last semester from Bowling Green State University, where she she served as professor and chair of the Digital Arts division. Heather Elliott-Famularo is an award-winning filmmaker and artist active internationally in the fields of broadcast television, computer graphics and interactive multimedia, with a focus on collaborative digital humanities and public education.

Between Professor Elliott-Famularo’s rich background in film and digital media and her passion for education and the future of digital media, we cannot wait to see how she continues to broaden and promote the Digital Media & Design program! Since her arrival in January 2018, she has led UConn DMD through an exciting first eight months. Not only has the first floor of the Bishop Center undergone major facilities’ renovations, but we also welcomed 49 new DMD Freshmen, eight new graduate students, and six new full-time faculty members into the DMD family. Heather said she is most looking forward to working with faculty to develop and refine the curriculum, build new facilities, and broaden DMD’s outreach in Connecticut this semester. Watch her interview with us to learn more about Heather and her goals for the future of DMD.
