<p>Thanks for setting me straight.
The information I shared was what was given to me at an open house at NYU/Tisch last year. After touring Syracuse, Ithaca, Emerson etc and hearing about their support systems after graduation, I asked the question to a faculty member as well as our official tour guides. I received puzzled looks from the tour guides (senior acting students and interns). The faculty member said that there was no official support system-but when he got emails from people looking for designers he passed along the email. Actually, I was quite surprised to hear that there was no networking system in place. Glad to hear that was definitely wrong.
Thanks for clarifying–theatres etc. It just goes to show- research, research, research!</p>
