Denver Publishing Institute:  Successful online program for SUmmer 2020

We at DPI took full advantage of technology to enhance the offerings for our online students, including the opportunity to network with DPI graduates currently working in publishing across the country. This new approach ensured our 2020 graduating students had all the tools necessary to enter a post-COVID-19 workforce that is likely to be much more virtual than was previously the case.

Student comments about the DPI 2020 online program:

"As a DPI 2020 graduate, I was a part of the first-ever completely remote season—and it was the best educational decision I have ever made!"

"Throughout the class I was given a fantastic look at the inner workings of the industry from editing to packaging, and narrowed down my interests and goals once I knew more about publishing."

What do graduates say about the Denver Publishing Institute?

"DPI is the best decision I ever made. It was life-changing, and I'll never forget it."

"The DPI was an immensely valuable experience. The program itself was very well-run and organized. Each of the speakers added to the Institute. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. I've learned so much and I'll take with me knowledge of publishing that will stay with me forever."

"My experience thus far as an editorial assistant has truly been a dream come true; the job is incredible, just what I hoped it would be... I have absolutely relied on what I learned in Denver to keep my head above water-- and I am absolutely confident that without DPI I would never have gotten the initial interview and certainly not the job. I will always be grateful to you and the program for the most valuable four weeks of my post-graduate life."
