  Dozens of Savannah College of Art and Design students meet with Kiz Toys executives for interviews and to display their talents

  Cumming, Ga - April 4, 2008 -- Kiz Toys executives continued recruiting for the company’s Creative Studio in Charleston, South Carolina on Friday, April 4 at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) Career Fair. The company’s top executives, including CEO Chris Moreau and COO Ashley Johnson, were present at the Kiz Toys booth to inform SCAD students, upcoming graduates and alumni about Kiz Toys and to conduct onsite interviews with perspective applicants.

  Students lined up to get a chance to sit down and talk with a Kiz Toys executive and to present their work and demo reels to Kiz Toys. Fields of expertise included 3D modeling and animation, illustration, product design, graphic design, game development, 3D texture and lighting and Flash animation and programming, and Kiz Toys was looking for both full-time and internship applicants.

  Well over 100 companies and institutions were represented at the fair, which was held at the Savannah International Trade & Convention Center, and Kiz Toys was one of the main attractions. Companies such as Pixar, Activision and Turner Broadcasting were in attendance, and Kiz Toys joined these big players as one of the four busiest booths throughout the day. The Kiz Toys team stayed over an hour after the fair was scheduled to wrap up, with three separate interview stations operating at once, so they could accommodate all of the students who were in line.

  “The response from the SCAD students was great,” said Moreau. “There is an amazing pool of talent at this school, and we got to see a lot of it firsthand today. These young artists and programmers are the factor that will make our Creative Studio a world-class department.”

  SCAD is a private institution with an enrolment of almost 9,000 students from all 50 states and more than 90 countries. SCAD was named one of the “25 cutting-edge schools with an eye toward the future” in Kalpan’s 2008 “You Are Here: A Guide to Over 380 Colleges and Unlimited Paths to Your Future.” In 2007, 3D World named SCAD’s animation program one of the top three in North America, and Fortune Small Business included SCAD in its "America’s Best Colleges for Entrepreneurs” list.
