FIDM.....FIDM DEBUT 2018: BLOG RECAP of MC'ing Educators Luncheon

 Welcome to FIDM Debut 2018 Educators Luncheon!--Nick Verreos at FIDM LA Campus, ready to MC the FIDM Debut 2018 Educators Luncheon

Last Thursday was the start of my annual 3-day FIDM Debut festivities, which is highlighted by the fabulous FIDM Debut Show, a grand fashion show showcasing the work of the Advanced Fashion Design, Theatre Costume Design, Interior Design, and Textile Design students, among others. As the Official Spokesperson (and alumnus) for the college, I always look forward to "FIDM DEBUT Week".

To begin the week, I had the honor of MC'ing the FIDM Educators Luncheon, as part of FIDM's Educators Day...

Welcome to FIDM's Educators Day!--Nick Verreos, FIDM Los Angeles Campus, FIDM Debut 2018 Educators Luncheon

The Luncheon is a way to honor the FIDM educators, college reps and advisers from all over the U.S. who help, guide, advise and educate junior high school, high school and post-graduate students about FIDM and what the college has to offer. 

Delicious Lunch and Yummy Dessert--FIDM Debut 2018 Educators Luncheon of Salad Starter, Main Entree Chicken Piccata and Cupcakes for Dessert

They enjoy a very nice lunch, listen to a special speaker, and delight in mingling with other educators/reps/advisers. I especially LOVE hosting this Luncheon since I spend a lot of time with some of these educators during many of the FIDM events I do at all four campuses, including "Open House" and "3 Days of Fashion"...and so, naturally, I bow to them and all the work they do! 

Here are photos from the this year's FIDM Debut Educators Luncheon, including my MC duties, post Luncheon Meet & Greet and a bonus: Hanging out with my new "Fashion Besties" from Skid Row Denim & Apparel:
