Troy-based Emagine Entertainment Inc. is partnering with Walsh College, also in Troy, in an effort that “exemplifies the best of business and higher education,” according to the organizations.
In January, Emagine will relocate its corporate headquarters to the second floor of Walsh College at 3838 Livernois Road. In addition, Emagine has hired several Walsh interns and graduates.
“We are beyond excited to welcome Emagine Entertainment to our campus,” says Suzy Siegle, president and CEO of Walsh College. “Throughout its 100-year history, Walsh College has always embodied an entrepreneurial spirit. Having Emagine, a nationally ranked theater chain, part of our campus community unlocks even more entrepreneurial opportunities for our students and our college. Together, we are creating a future-ready learning organization that benefits both industry and education.
“It’s really amazing to see some of our graduates now coming to work at the same campus at which they attended classes. And you’ll see Walsh College promotions and commercials at Emagine’s Michigan theater locations starting this month.”
Anthony LaVerde, CEO of Emagine Entertainment says: “Emagine is excited to take advantage of the numerous synergies of co-locating its corporate offices on a dynamic campus environment. The competition for talent is at an all-time high, and this announcement is another example of our dedication to talent and innovation that will help propel our growth as one of the largest theatrical exhibitors in North America.”
Paul Glantz, co-founder and chairman of Emagine, is a Walsh College alumnus.
“As a Walsh College graduate this move is truly like a homecoming to my alma mater. I immensely enjoyed my time at Walsh, and credit my education there as contributing to my professional success.”
