"I made the decision to come to Anderson in large part due to the resources available for exploring entertainment as a career path. With the extensive entertainment curriculum, professors who’ve worked in the industry, a breadth of alumni, and programming and network offered by Entertainment Management Association, I was able to learn about the industry, complete internships, and make connections I never would’ve been able to otherwise. Some of my favorite experiences with the Entertainment Management Association include planning its Career Night and the annual Sundance Film Festival trip. I could not be more excited about the next step in my career, which would not be possible without the help of all the resources at Anderson and the Anderson Parker Career Center."
