ABOUT US

The Center for Cultural Technology (CCT) is an outgrowth of an ongoing partnership between the Media Arts Program at New Mexico Highlands University and the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs. CCT is envisioned as a national Center of Excellence in the domain of cultural technology--the rapidly emerging field at the intersection between new digital media and cultural content. When it is fully-developed will consist of leading academic, internship, and research & development components.

Currently the program offers undergraduate academic and graduate internship programs. PICT: the Program in Interactive Cultural Technology, is a semester-long intensive course that is offered biannually during spring semester and is open to students from outside of the program. Students who successfully complete the course and an internship receive a Certificate in Cultural Technology.

Each semester, through a competitive application process, two upper division undergraduates are awarded Seabury Foundation Fellowships in Cultural Technology. Past recipients include Carlos Mendivil, Becca Glenn, Melissa Marquez and Devyn Dennison.
