Student Stories
“I’ve taken every opportunity I could to get involved, including putting on ten to fifteen shows a year with the Music and Entertainment Industry Students Association (MEISA) club. I also created a marketing approach for a performing artist — and the artist is actually using it!”
Lily Robitaille
“Getting a job right out of college was a career highlight for sure. When employers look at resumés of people who have graduated from our MBI program, they see a high level of student involvement. That’s what sets us apart. You’re developing skills the entire time, working toward your career goals in a hands-on manner.”
