Beyond the formal courses, students gain additional training and insight through a special IGERT seminar series, for which we invite leading artists, technologists, and researchers in areas of interactive digital multimedia. We use our proximity to Los Angeles, a major hub of activity in applications of digital media, and to Silicon Valley, and also invite experts from outside the state to create a high-quality invited seminar series for the program and the UCSB campus and community. We also leverage the UCSB Digital Media Arts Lecture Series, which is currently bringing in well-known digital artists on a weekly basis.

In addition to promoting interaction between students and leaders in digital multimedia, the Seminar Series during the Fall quarter provides a format for welcoming new students to the IGERT program. This aspect of the Series is organized by the previous year's new students, and its purpose is to give the new students a practical introduction to the program, the facilities, the research and internship opportunities, etc. The research interests and projects of the participating faculty are described so that new students know right away with whom they are most likely to share interests.
