ACCMe
Hello + I hope this finds you well!
For months last Fall, Ms. Kathryn, Ms. Christine, Mr. Curry, Mr. Woodhull and I crafted a submission for a new grant program concerning student success. I am delighted to share we won, and were fully awarded our proposal! Together with you – we are building a student run, operational photography studio, servicing clients. We believe this type of real world experience is a meaningful way to impact your success rates as photographers, as students and importantly as entrepreneurs. We are calling it ACCMe Studio.
I am excited to announce the program is up and running and we would like to congratulate all who applied for this first session of ACCMe Studio! We received nearly three times the number of submissions than first expected, it was no small task to select the final 8 + 4. We also chose two alternates should the unexpected need arise. The board discussed at length the best mix of experience and range, and have selected the following staff for the Spring 2015 session. Way to be!

With my best always, Sean.
