BY EXPOSING PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS TO THE VARIOUS AREAS AND DISCIPLINES WITHIN THE CREATIVE AND "STORYTELLING" INDUSTRIES, THEY LEAVE WITH GREATER LEVELS OF CONFIDENCE AND EXPERIENCE IN FULFILLING THIER PART IN REALIZING OUR VISION. EACH YEAR, BETWEEN 1,200 AND 2,100 STUDENTS AND OVER 100 MUSIC AND MULTIMEDIA PROFESSIONALS ARE SERVED.
