FACULTY The single most important factor in any educational institution is its faculty. An outstanding faculty defines a college. FIDM Instructors are unmatched in their expertise and their commitment to educating a new generation of professionals. In selecting the best possible faculty, we consider academic excellence and practical experience, so our students get the benefit of both. Many of our instructors maintain dual careers: as FIDM Instructors and as active specialists in their fields. They bring their daily exposure to these industries back into FIDM’s classrooms, studios, and labs for the benefit of our students. 156 FACULTY
