FIDM OPEN HOUSE....BLOG RECAP of my Special Appearance at FIDM San Diego 2019 Open House

 Nick Verreos at FIDM San Diego 2019 Open House

This past Saturday, I had the opportunity to visit FIDM San Diego and make a "Special Appearance" at their 2019 Open House. As the FIDM Open House website says...FIDM Open House is a wonderful opportunity to "Meet faculty, students, alumni, and Admissions Advisors as you explore the curriculum, experience student life, and tour our state-of-the-industry classrooms and workspaces. Plus, get an overview of scholarships and financial aid. There's no better way to find out this is the right college for you." It's a way to check out the school and see if it is where you want to study. 

San Diego Welcome!--Nick Verreos at the FIDM San Diego 2019 Open House

As the Official Spokesperson and now in my additional capacity as the Co-Chair of the FIDM Fashion Design Program, I have the chance to visit some of the campuses every now and then and make very special appearances and speak to attendees who are interested in possibly attending the College and telling them about my personal experience (I am a FIDM Alumn as well as a former FIDM Instructor) and how I got to where I got in terms of my fashion career.

Here are photos from the 2019 FIDM San Diego Open House, of which I made a "Special Appearance", giving my lecture and doing a post-lecture Meet & Greet:

A Former Student...and her two children!--I was so excited to re-unite with a former student of mine (holding the baby) and she told me that when she was a student of mine, she was pregnant with her (now fully grown) daughter (far left) and in addition, just had the child she was holding...Boy do I feel old ;)--FIDM San Diego 2019 Open House

That's a Wrap!--Thank you to everyone who attended the FIDM San Diego 2019 Open House; it was a pleasure meeting everyone and getting to talk to you about pursuing your fashion careers. See you next time SAN DIEGO!
