Stratford, ON - The University of Waterloo Stratford Campus is  
inviting members of the community to hear first hand from students and

called the Master Talks led by the Masters of Digital Experience  
Innovation (MDEI) students. Masters students Iulia Marin and Jana

Stratford and the MDEI program, why they chose the program, and the  
impact they see it will have both on their future and the future of  
the industries they will be entering into.

Waterloo, will share the vision behind the beginnings of the
