used, this is by far the easiest.”

does it provide access to potential
employees, but it includes pertinent
information like resumes and key project
materials. A quick way to review
candidates.”

media program and the Moody Media Lab.Vital in
connecting us to students, students to one
another, and future employers to our students.
Every part of our program from the quality

improved with Seelio in the mix. What's
more, I'm thrilled that we are finally able to fully
showcase our one-of-a-kind creative community
