- Bill Carter, assistant professor of practice in Creative Media and Film at the School of Communication, was recruited by MIT’s Sloan School of Management to create a film highlighting the Big Data conference in Bogota, Colombia last May.

Carter looks forward to building more relationships between MIT and NAU’s faculty and students.
