The Summer Term Business Dialogue Series kicks off tomorrow. Presented by Art Center’s Art Center’s Office of Career Development, the hour-long presentations introduce students to the diversity of opportunities available in the fields of art and design.

Each term, leaders of design firms and studios come to campus to create awareness of their businesses, showcase their work and engage in conversation with students.

The give-and-take in these one-hour sessions exposes students to details about a variety of fields, to opportunities they didn’t know existed and to the expectations of employers.

2009 BMW 750i: Returning to its Spiritual Home

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
Edmunds.com editor Kelly Toepke recently visited campus, bringing along the new 2009 BMW 750i for Transportation Design students and faculty to examine.

Toepke writes: “Of all the cars in the Inside Line fleet, the 2009 BMW 750i seemed the most logical, given that the last two BMW design chiefs were Art Center graduates: Chris Bangle (’81) and current head of design Adrian van Hooydonk (’92). (Maybe this was why there was a reserved, curbside parking spot for me when I arrived?)”
