We are thrilled that Sesame Street's Autism Initiative has been nominated for a Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Award. Congratulations to EM grad Shane McKaskle, instructors Laura Robinson and Josh Dagg, and all the students and staff who worked so hard to create "Benny's Story," a part of this initiative.  Keep your fingers crossed! 
 
Graduation is around the corner. Students are completing their reels, preparing for exams, and looking forward to the summer. We are expanding our Summer Workshop program, offering more classes than ever. Register by June 1st for a discount!!
