<p>Hi gouf! It’s great to see you; how is your daughter doing?! I am just back from Family Weekend at Ringling. It’s hard to believe my daughter is already in her junior year! We attended a career services presentation that included two Disney recruiters, a Hasbro recruiter, and another from a company that develops apps for the health care industry, LucidGlobal. The focus was why they recruit from Ringling year after year. Bottom line is the students graduate with the technical and social skills they need to succeed in the workplace, and indeed possess what they need to land good internships while still in college. I know your daughter and her friends have done well and I hope for the same!</p>
<p>Collegemom, regardless of where your student decides to apply, pay close attention to the deadlines for Animation. I know at Ringling it is early, usually a January cut-off with far more applications than seats available. One thing the Disney recruiters said was the technology at Ringling rivals that of any professional studio! The college definitely invests in facilities and technology across the majors, no question about it. Best wishes!</p>
