On the afternoon of November 14, the first phase of the "Raspberry Pie" Digital Media Alumni Exchange Forum of the faculty of Artificial Intelligence in Education was held in N111 of Nanhu comprehensive building. This forum was for undergraduates majoring in digital media technology, aimed at helping students understand the frontier dynamics, employment trends and career development of the major as well as promoting the construction of new engineering course and national first-class profession of digital media technology. Zou Qing, the undergraduate of Grade 2017 majoring in digital media technology of CCNU and the doctoral candidate of Grade 2020 of School of Information Management of Wuhan University, was invited as the speaker.
At the beginning of the activity, Shen Chang, the host of the activity led the students to recall the establishment history and great achievements of digital media technology, introduced the significance of the activity, and expressed their expectations for building a “family”. Then, Tan Zheng, a teacher in Department of Digital Media, delivered a speech.
