(SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.)– High school administrators and other education leaders will receive their own introduction to The Art Institute of California – Inland Empire at the semi-annual Meet the Creatives gourmet breakfast Thursday, April 22.
“This presentation was created to give high school and community leaders an opportunity to see the creative education opportunities available at The Art Institute of California-Inland Empire campus.,” said President Emam El-Hout. “We would also like to share our creative majors, show our work in the community. Our goal is to facilitate a partnership with these administrators as key players in academic excellence and in the creative growth of the Inland Empire’s youth.”
The breakfast is prepared by students attending The International Culinary School at The Art Institute of California – Inland Empire, which oversees the Culinary Arts and Culinary Management programs. After breakfast, participants will take tours of our campus, hear presentations from the school’s academic directors about the programs offered and also learn about career services and student affairs at the San Bernardino school.
Articulation (the methods by which high schools ensure their students are adequately prepared for various colleges) and the $150,000 in scholarships The Art Institute of California – Inland Empire will offer this year will also be discussed, as will Summer Studio 2009.
