Full Sail University |
Posted by Terry Howard @ 3/25/2008 
Full Sail is now officially a university, Full Sail University, and well deservedly so. I've had the extreme pleasure of being employed by this dynamic company for nearly 10 months now and I'm truly excited to see be a part of this milestone. I did have one comment, though, to those odd individuals with axes to grind with Full Sail University.
Full Sail's default rate, an education industry measure of the percentage of students who can't pay their student loans used to analyze the earning potential of graduates, the current satisfaction rates, and the percentage of graduates who are currently employed in their respective industries are all publicly available (and incidentally exceptionally favorable) metrics. I'd suggest anyone with said dull axes and potential students review them. Nothing like cold hard facts and figures to put sour grapes in perspective.

What is more evil than Stewie, the conniving infant of the Griffin clan? The Stewie Pumpkin! This was the Full Sail Marketing Department's entry into this year's pumpkin carving contest at the staff Halloween party here at Full Sail. While he didn't win any awards, he was the largest entry and he did manage to disrupt the proceedings by blurting out classic offensive Stewie phrases via the iPod Shuffle hidden on his person. Eventually they figured out how to silence him, but not before he managed to get his voice into most of the footage shot early on. Great work guys, proud to be a member of the most creative marketing team around! See the Flickr set for Stewie.

Posted by Terry Howard @ 8/14/2007
My apologies to my former IT guy Chris, but Chad "The Chad" Wetli, the "IT guy" at Full Sail where I took a position at a few months ago is by far the coolest IT guy ever. At first he seemed like a typical no-nonsense tech guy, super helpful, but short on words. He installed CS3 on my MacBook Pro and later helped me get Parallels Desktop setup and I think the whole time I heard him say only a few words.
So Sunday I worked the Behind The Scenes tour where prospective students come in, see a short presentation, and then go on degree specific tours of the campus. During the presentation Chad, who around the campus is known as "The Chad", goes from deadpan to over the top surfer weather dude at the flip of a camera switch and delivers a hilarious faux weather forecast extolling the virtues of the Central Florida climate.
This afternoon I attended The Pulse, the Full Sail version of an annual "state of the company" meeting for staff. There were contortionist, clowns, animals, deep fried snickers and live music among other things, but the highlight easily was the premier of some new Full Sail commercials featuring The Chad (I will post them as soon as they are available, truly entertaining!.) I came to find out that The Chad even has an IMDB page. Now that is a cool IT guy!
As mentioned in the comments, don't miss his Rubik's Cube Skillz either.
