Meet Christian Eckels, who earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre from Webster in 2001 and currently works as a product designer at CNN and an adjunct instructor at Santa Monica College.

"While my degree in Theater Arts was the foundation for an over a decade-long career in stage management and arts administration, my work-study experience in Webster University's computer labs was pivotal. It opened my eyes to diverse career paths and sparked an interest in creative fields beyond the theater, eventually leading me to explore and transition into product design and UX."

Meet David Washington who earned a Master of Business Administration from Webster in 2002 and currently works as an entrepreneur and author. 

"As an entrepreneur, I have been able to engage in projects that otherwise would not be accessible via a traditional career. For example, I wrote a graphic novel titled, Black Defender: The Awakening. This project stemmed from a desire to provide more diversity in the comic book/action hero space. The book has garnered acclaim as a nominee for the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Works, and Publishers Weekly’s BookLife named the book as “Graphic Novel of the Year."

Meet Rachel McInnis, who earned a bachelor's degree in Advertising and Marketing Communications in 2006 and currently works for Maritz.

"I served as a leader as the creative director for the team of AdMarCom seniors who competed in the National Student Advertising Competition.

It still remains one of the awards I'm proudest of."
