The Patty Disney Center for Life and Work officially launched the Bridge to Industry Fellows (B2I) Program in the Fall of 2022 thanks to a generous gift from the Walt Disney Company. Bridge to Industry serves as a bridge connecting self identifying BIPOC animation students with industry leaders and professionals through mentorship, experiential learning, events, and access to a diverse artist community.
The program curates workshops with leading industry professionals and provides access to major industry conferences, as well as field trips to local studios such as Warner Brothers, Sony Pictures, and Paramount.
