GRADUATING?
File your graduation form!

Many grads don't realize that to officially graduate from MC, you need to file a graduation form. This "proves" later on that you graduated from MC. Remember that ten years from now, the classes in many MC programs may have changed, especially fast-moving tech programs. F File your grad form now so there is no confusion later on.

For more information:

Maryland is considered the East Coast hub of the gaming industry.

According to Maryland Interactive Technologies, "Already Maryland boasts the largest cluster of entertainment software companies on the East Coast." 

In addition, an industry survey by Game Developer Magazine recently found that Maryland is the number one East Coast state for game developers!
