AVATAR Lecture Series Information

LSU's Arts, Visualization, Advanced Technologies and Research (AVATAR)
Initiative will launch the University's first minor degree program in digital media in
the Fall 2010 semester.

To help students learn what skills they need for careers in this exciting and
emerging field, AVATAR Initiative will host a series of lectures in the spring and fall
semesters, bringing professionals from various areas of digital media to campus.

The AVATAR Lecture Series speakers will discuss their own career paths in areas

scientific visualization, and more, and advise students on what they need to learn
