On Friday, April 10, we celebrated the SDM Ferris Media Festival 2026!

First, thank you to everyone who contributed to One Day for Dawgs. Because of your support, we raised over $1,300 to directly benefit TDMP students.

The festival featured guest speakers Courtney Stickels, Shawn Deweerd, and Aaron Villarreal, who shared valuable insights with our students.

Attendees enjoyed a full day of networking, a welcoming atmosphere, professional headshots, and the opportunity to view student work submitted for awards—including voting for the People’s Choice selection.

Thank you to everyone who made this event a success!
