Summer Quarter Updates
What a blast this Summer quarter has been! We kicked off the tenth year of the Student Art Exhibition with an epic opening reception. There was delicious food, killer live tunes from the 1-2-3 Street Band, and an awards ceremony that had everyone cheering. The night wrapped up with a dance party, featuring our students showing off their moves to Afro-Caribbean beats led by instructor Blake Cisneros. It's going to be tough to say goodbye to this awesome Summer quarter on August 16th!
Get ready for Fall, because registration kicks off online at 8am, August 5th! We've got an exciting lineup of classes, and here's a sneak peek of what's coming your way. Don’t leaf 🍂 it for later! Register early. Full digital catalog is now available for download. Click [here] to download!
