Entertainment Industry Institute

The Entertainment Industry Institute (EII) at CSUN is where students with big dreams find the access and support they need to make them real. Located in the heart of Los Angeles, EII gives talented, hardworking students—many of whom are the first in their families to pursue careers in the arts—direct connections, conversations and pathways into the film, television, music, and digital media industries. Through connections with alumni and industry leaders, EII opens doors that can change the trajectory of a young person’s life.

Your Giving Day support makes these life-changing moments possible. With your help, students gain the resources and real-world experience they need to step confidently into the creative economy. Your gift strengthens the curriculum, expands access to professionals and informationals, and ensures that students can participate in EII’s signature events—experiences that offer clarity, inspiration, and a true sense of belonging in an industry where access often determines opportunity.

When you give to EII, you’re not simply supporting a program—you are investing in a student’s belief in themselves. You are helping them take their first steps into careers that shape culture, elevate diverse voices, and tell the stories that move us all.

On Giving Day, your generosity becomes the spark that turns ambition into possibility. Let’s open those doors together.
