Always Striving For 130 years, Strayer University has been helping students like you get and stay ahead. We've been at the forefront of change, so you can keep striving.

A few months back, we won "Best Original Score" at Jackson Wild. The festival featured 600+ film entries from 26 different countries, representing the best in wildlife and natural history filmmaking.

To say we are honored is an understatement. It was a career defining moment that we share with our partners at Day's Edge Productions, Terra Mater Studios and the Smithsonian Channel.

We've got a great lineup of film screenings at this year's Jackson Wild Summit, including Smithsonian Channel's MIAMI WILD. 🦚

Nominated as a finalist in the 2022 Jackson Wild Media Awards Original Musical Score category, MIAMI WILD tells the story of a neighborhood park set in the city suburbs, where animals from around the world struggle to make new lives for themselves alongside the native species. The film’s score is inspired by Miami’s rich musical heritage, pulling sounds from all over the world.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Executive Producer Tria Thalman, directors Neil Losin and Nathan Dappen, and composer IaCleod9od (Cleod9).

We teamed up with an amazing group of Nat Geo creatives to help score National Geographic Society's first sizzle reel under the Walt Disney label.
