SAE INSTITUTE ATLANTA INTRODUCES INAUGURAL GRADUATING CLASS TO THE INDUSTRY
ATLANTA, GA, July 14, 2008 — SAE Institute Atlanta announces the graduation of its first class in the Audio Technology Program and the introduction of these students to the industry. Since opening its doors in the fall of 2007, SAE’s Atlanta campus has offered the intensive training synonymous with SAE Institute, the world’s first and largest network of audio and multimedia education and training centers. A recent graduation ceremony acknowledged the accomplishments of the class, while faculty, staff, students and their friends and family shared in the festivities. The event included a keynote address by Michele Rhea Caplinger (Senior Executive Director of the Atlanta chapter of The Recording Academy), welcoming the students to the industry as “future GRAMMY® winners.” As graduates of SAE, they not only join the industry itself, but they also become a part of SAE’s alumni community, a talented and far-reaching network of industry professionals maintaining relationships and offering varied opportunities and continued education.
Each graduate offers a unique story and background, adding to the richness and diversity of SAE’s student body and the experience they bring to the industry. Randy Starita, graduate of the Audio Technology Program, was displaced after Hurricane Katrina and then moved to Atlanta. “While there, I enrolled at SAE Atlanta, and it was the best decision I’ve ever made,” Starita stated. “The staff there has given me all the tools and training necessary to start my recording engineering career.”
“We are extremely excited to introduce our first graduating class to the industry,” stated Chris Davie, Director, SAE Atlanta. “Many have already found positions in the Atlanta community, and from here we look forward to following their successes. SAE pays very close attention to the needs of the local market and the industry as a whole, working in tandem with the community to continuously shape our curriculum and the SAE experience, in turn providing highly qualified graduates. SAE Atlanta wishes this amazingly talented crew much success in the start of their new and exciting careers in the music industry.”
