DLE SHORT FILM DEBUTS: WHY THE DLE?: THERE’S A REASON FOR EVERYONE

With an enthusiastic cast of alumni and community members, the DLE’s first short film shares stories of personal and professional successes inspired through the connections, culture and curriculum that have distinguished this program since 2008.

“Being a DLE member is not just about being a part of a professional community, it is also about possessing a certain spirit that is driven, hardworking and persevering. This comes through in the words of the diverse group of members featured in the film,” explains Jessica O’Neill, DLE Marketing Intern and a junior at Syracuse University, who shot and produced the six-minute Why the DLE?: There’s a Reason for Everyone.
