The Arts Division is committed to student success. The core mission of Arts Professional Pathways (APP) is to demystify the creative industries for our students and ensure equitable opportunity and access for those who have been historically excluded through discrimination and nepotism. We believe there is no excellence without equity, and there is no innovation without inclusion. We provide undergraduate and graduate students with the resources and support necessary to generate opportunities in artistic fields, supporting the diversification of talent in community and business enterprises that urgently respond to the ‘new majority’ of California and beyond. While we help students chart their professional pathway in the arts through myriad interventions, APP focuses on two primary channels of support: Arts Professional Pathways Internship Scholarship; and Career Development Programming.
The arts help us gain understanding, expand imagination, shift perspectives, and save lives. The Arts Professional Pathways program provides students with tools, training and support to enhance their academic and creative experience with the resources to take them through their studies and launch post-graduation careers. Your gift will be used for career fairs, workshops, panels, networking events, and to supplement paid internship opportunities so that any qualified student can afford to take advantage of these networking opportunities.
