Tribute to the Academics

No one knew that in the city of Dayton, Ohio in 1979 an extraordinary school was about to break the education scene and become a huge trendsetter in the entertainment industry. A man with an idea, a dream is all it took and soon with that idea it transformed into what was known at the time as "FullSail Recordnig Workshop." This trade school began offering educational courses that trained students on the production aspect of the entertainment industry focusing mainly on how to become audio engineers. As the school progressed the school eventually relocated its growing campus to Winterpark, Florida and changed their school name to Full Sail University where they expanded their campus, created more academic porgrams, and began to be recognized by the entertainment industry as one of the top Entertainment/Creative Arts School in the US.

Many creative students have graduated from Full Sail University, went on to break ground in the Entertainment Industry which has put Full Sail on the map. As of 2011 more than 36,000 students have graduated from Full Sail University and have made their almamater proud. Some major talents that are proud alumni's of Full Sail University are:
Oscar Award Winner, Sound Recording, "Inception"- Gary Rizzo
Screen Writer for "Saw I,II,IV & Repo", Darren Lynn Bousman
3 Time Latin Grammy Award winner, and 4 time grammy award winner Sebastian Krys
Dungeon & Dragons co- creator Dave Anderson taught at Full Sail from 2000-2008

In 2009 Full Sail University celebrated its 30th anniversary in the education system and in honor of that the school established the Full Sail University Hall of Fame where 6 students were inducted into the hall of fame. Since then Full Sail University continues to induct more students in the Hall of Fame which has created a place of inspiration and motivation to new students walking the campus halls, the same halls these extraordinary Hall Famers once did.

Artist now have a school they can call their home and sanctuary. A place that really offers you not only an education but also the opportunity to really refine your talent, access to state of the art equipment and resources to accomplish any thing, as well as teach you the life of the industry. Full  Sails professors have had their own success stories and offer a unique and personal testimony that can aid to the students educational and talent growth.

I think that one of the best attributes of being a student of Full Sail University was learning all the statistics of the different Entertainment award shows like the Emmys, Grammys, Gold Globes, Academy Awards, MTV Awards and learning how many full sail alumni's were involved in the success of all those projects, especially the ones that won an award. It just tells you that Full Sail University is very much present in the Entertainment Industry. As I bring my Masters of Science Degree in Entertainment Business to completion, I can't help but pay tribute to Full Sail University, the school of which I'm so proud to be an alumni of. I can't wait to continue to grow my company and push my talents to grow and be the best they can be just like Full Sail motivated me to do the same. I love the fact that all the alumni's are doing what they love to do and they are proud to say that they graduated from Full Sail University.

For anyone who is looking into a career in the entertainment industry whether its being in the business aspect of the industry, the production side, creative side, or even the talent side, as a soon to be Alumni Graduate of Full Sail University on October 26th, 2012 I highly recommend you look into this amazing educational establishment. You get out of it what you put into it. You should love and do what you love to do. An I can say that where ever the road takes me in life and career I will always be proud to say that Im proud to be a graduate of Full Sail University. Thank you for a wonderful educational experience.
