Walker Evans is an up-and-comer and a person to watch, according to (Columbus) Alive. He’s also a 2004 Columbus State grad.
Evans founded ColumbusUnderground.com on a whim and built it into a must-read, with 3 million hits per month. Columbus Underground provides a discussion forum for local happenings; news updates; and tips on events, food, nightlife, shopping and more.
Evans, who grew up in Marysville, began his college studies in computer programming at Ohio State. He left after two quarters to find a new direction for his talents.
By day he worked as a techie for Limited Brands and by night he often DJed at local clubs. Wanting to continue his education, Evans searched online and found Columbus State’s Interactive Media program. The small classes, convenient times, and affordable tuition fit Evans’ requirements perfectly.
“This program offered the right mix of the technical and the artistic for me,†says Evans. “And the varied curriculum seemed applicable to so many career fields.â€
