上周的 第六届名人堂 celebration was a huge success, transforming campus into a bustling hub of activity that included live music, 一个职业 & 科技博览会，会议 & 问候，还有更多. Over the course of three packed days, industry leaders offered advice and insight to students in the form of 面板s, 讲座, 研讨会, 以及互动式批评. Both campus and online students kept the digital party going on 推特 and YouTube by asking great questions of our guests. We welcomed six new grads into the 名人堂, 我们放眼望去, people were connecting over shared interests. It was arguably the best 名人堂 Week to date.

的re were too many amazing moments to list in full, but a few of the highlights included:

• 的 职业生涯 & 技术博览会 连接近2,000 students with dozens of industry representatives offering recruiting opportunities and product demonstrations.
• 音乐 fans had the chance to experience 满帆’s newest on-campus venue by attending the 树屋音乐节. 的 three-day event featured performances by members of the 满帆 community, 还有当地的音乐家.
• 快结束了 恐怖领域的成功 面板, a member of the audience described being teased in middle school for her love of horror, 和引用 达伦·林恩·鲍斯曼邪教音乐剧 回购 as her inspiration to continue writing despite adversity. 那是一个伟大的时刻, and one that really highlighted how our grads continue to inspire the next generation of students. “You can do whatever you want,” said Darren. “Anyone that [says] you can’t do it is scared that you will.”
• HBO’s Director of Development 亚伦诺丽果汁 just happened to be in town during 名人堂, and he joined guests Stephen打转 (VP of 媒体 and Production Operations-West Coast, HBO; 2004 电影 graduate) and 瑞安·威尔克森 (Director of 设计, HBO) 对于一个 couple of fascinating 满帆 On Air Studio Sessions. It was a nice surprise that allowed students to get a sense of how HBO tackles production, products, and development logistics through creative collaboration.
