NBC features SIA

This past October, NBC 4 New York visited UAP’s offices to see the fall 2018 launch of School of Interactive Arts (SIA). At the launch, new students received their orientation to the program and got to hear from alums.  They also jumped right in to start brainstorming their own original games! We are grateful that NBC was able to memorialize the day for us while spreading the word about SIA.
