important note!
Nobody outside Vanier (and even 90% at Vanier) have no idea what OST: Micropublishing and Hypermedia is!
For CV, cover letters & portfolios use:
OST: Micropublishing & Hypermedia, a three-year graphic design and web development program.
Then don't be shy to describe what you did in the program in more detail.
If your poster or work was chosen be sure to highlight it / them.
