Matthew cares deeply for our school and
our students, and we are thrilled that he shares
his time and talent to help prepare the next
generation of media leaders and innovators, Moody College Dean Jay Bernhardt, to UT News.

Working in the classroom with these students
gives me a chance to prepare them. Making
movies, turning words on paper into film,
is both a science and art – no matter the
