Graduation- LA

 

Dear NYFA community, 

 

It brings me such great pleasure to address you with that word: “graduate,” and to think of all the hard work, dedication, growth, even transformation, captured within those eight letters. Only you can know the deep well of resources you had to tap into in order to get yourself to this milestone, but I take immense pride in the fact that you chose to do it at New York Film Academy.

 

I share in your excitement today and hope that, as you continue your artistic journey, you will remain part of the NYFA community, keeping us apprised of your triumphs, and making use of our resources to help you navigate the waters of your chosen field. 

 

Your faculty and staff have dedicated themselves to your success, and today I thank them as well for their continued support of your journey. 

 

Enjoy your commencement. Take time to let it all sink in. Congratulate yourself on an incredible achievement. And, most important of all, keep telling your story. 

 

With all my best wishes,

 

Michael J. Young 

President
