Tisch West

This annual program, run through the Tisch Offices of Career Development and Alumni Relations, is designed for recent graduates pursuing a career in the arts in Los Angeles. Participants are placed in small support groups of Tisch peers, which are led by industry mentors. These groups are designed to facilitate conversation about experiences adjusting to L.A., such as interviewing, apartment hunting, car shopping, etc. Each group works together to get its members settled, helping to plan and assess short- and long-term personal and professional goals while offering advice and guidance. Please note this is not a job placement program, nor is housing is provided.

The Tisch LA Mentor Program runs from September to May; participation is by application only and is limited to alumni who have graduated within the last three years.
