The Technology Consultant Program provides an opportunity for students to enhance digital literacy and media literacy skills as well as leadership capabilities. This program develops Technology Consultants by enhancing their ability to think critically about media messages, imagery, and audio, aided by the incorporation of storytelling tools. Technology Consultants are an essential component to the University as multimodal storytelling becomes more ingrained in the curriculum.

Her interest in multimodal storytelling is rooted in a passion for film. She loves the vision and emotion that drive video projects and is infinitely curious about the film-making process.

Henry Lynn
My interest in film began with simple projects throughout middle and high school. I was captivated by the variety of information that could be communicated through film, and the copious ways to go about that communication. I began to explore the nuances of film and strove to implement them into projects across the entire spectrum of my classes. While I plan to major in Biophysics here at Wake Forest, film remains a strong influence in my education and free time. For that reason I plan to minor in Film Studies. We live in a time where multimedia is one of the most prevalent ways people convey and consume information; for that reason multimodal storytelling and the technology it requires have applications in every facet of life.
