Savannah College of Art and Design,(SCAD) is a private university primarily based in the U.S state of Georgia. Alphamax Academy was fortunate enough to a visit from a SCAD recruiter. Daniel Sanchez visited our school and gave a wonderful presentation about his former University on Monday 28 January . The presentation was a brief slide show about life in SCAD, with students and former students giving a short explanation of what they were studying and/or where they are working at this moment.
AlphaMax students who attended this presentation were specifically chosen because of their study interests. Many of these students were from the art class and others came mainly from the drama department and humanities.

After the presentation Daniel Sanchez asked the students for questions. It appeared that our students are more interested in building arts (architecture) than other departments. Their interest in the school was heightened when Mr. Sanchez spoke about the many scholarships
this university had to offer. There were even teachers who were intrigued by the wide variety of options such as following the online courses that were available.
Daniel Sanchez reached his goal in getting our students interested in the field of Art and Design. I think that people who never even considered studying something else are now thinking about applying to this university. We hope to get many other visitors from College
recruiters to show people that there are so many different things in this world than just the science stream which so many of our students feel is the only significant study area.
SCAD also has establishments in Hong Kong and France. SCAD opened in 1979 with only seven faculty members and 71 students. Three years later the student body grew to 500 students. Today there are more than 11,000.
Many people are interested in SCAD is because of its great programs which are in the following main fields:Building Arts; Communication;Arts; Design; Fashion; Digital Media; Entertainment Arts; Fine Arts; Liberal Arts.
SCAD offers what many other schools cannot, a chance to let your creative side show and possibly make a living out of it.
