/PRNewswire/ -- Today, Full Sail University celebrates its
100,000th graduate at the in-person commencement held in
its on-campus state-of-the-art performance venue, Full Sail Live.
Full Sail celebrated the milestone when Isabel Miller walked across the stage to receive
her bachelor's degree in film, and in doing so became the
100,000th graduate since the inaugural class in
1979.
Throughout its 45-year history, Full Sail continues to evolve,
and in doing so, the university remains true to its roots in music
and recording arts but has expanded to areas of study in art and
design, business, film and television, games, media and
communications, sports, and emerging technologies. Currently, the
university serves over 22,000 students across its online and
on-campus offerings.
"From day one, Full Sail's mission has been to support our
students' dreams while propelling our graduates into their future
careers of choice. Today, Full Sail itself, alongside the
graduating class, achieved another dream with an incredible
milestone as our 100,000th Full Sail graduate crossed the ceremony
stage," said Full Sail University President, Garry Jones. "On behalf of all Full Sail
University, I'm honored to look back across our 45-year journey in
service to our students and alumni, and I'm humbled as we continue
to stand in service to our educational community alongside our
leadership, faculty, and staff. Congratulations to our phenomenal
alumni family comprised of 100,000 creative, determined change
agents of the future who continue to inspire us daily."
