We had an INCREDIBLE time at graduation and CTNX this year and wanted to share some of our favorite memories! It’s always so inspiring to meet students, alumni, mentors, and friends of Animation Mentor. It’s so rare we get to have so many of our tribe together in person. If you were there, thanks for coming! If you couldn’t make it, we missed you. We already can’t wait for next year.
Graduation 2018
Graduation is always a magical time for us! Graduates, we’re so proud of all you’ve accomplished and can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll do. Oh, the places you will go!
Here are just a few snapshots from graduation day. Enjoy!

Congratulations!
Don’t worry, the staff had fun too.
CTNX 2018
For us, CTNX is a continuation of the fun! After seeing everyone at graduation, we’re thrilled to have more excuses to see students, mentors, and friends all coming together. Here are just a few fun shots from the convention hall.
