MEET JANET BIGGS '81
Film & Digital Cinema is Moore's newest major, but we're proud to have alumni who are excelling in this field. As an accomplished media artist, Janet has worked with everyone from champion wrestlers to speed-obsessed bikers, synchronized swimmers, sulfur miners inside an active volcano and even camel herders in the Taklamakan Desert. In 2018, she won a prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship for her work, and in 2022, Moore honored her at our annual Visionary Woman Awards. "Moore gave me a glimpse of a world where there were no societal barriers," she says. "It gave me the confidence to navigate the world and my work without reservation."
