Dodge College of Film and Media Arts is proud to unveil that will be launching a Bachelor’s Degree program in Entourage Management and Navigation in Fall 2016.

This brand new program will help those looking to be a part of a celebrity’s entourage successfully navigate their way through life and viewing fame and fortune from their best friend’s side.

“Having lived just to the side of the limelight myself for many years, I can assure you that this program is going to be beneficial for many people,” said Professor Salvatore Assante, who will be headlining the program. “With many years of experience behind me, my goal is to help students become a better friend, manager, or whatever they want to be in their celebrity’s life.”

This four-year program will offer many different, valuable classes, such as ‘Errand Running,’ ‘Lessons in Humility,’ ‘Money Management,’ ’Self-Promotion and You,’ ‘Hugging It Out,’ ‘One-Liners and Zingers for Any Situation,’ ‘Successful Party Planning,’ and many more.

“Sometimes, it’s hard juggling being a friend
and
their manager at the same time, but we will impart knowledge on how to make both relationships work,” said adjunct professor Eric Murphy.

Helping our new Entourage Management and Navigation faculty will be a host of guest speakers that we have already lined up, such as Ari Gold, co-founder and Sr. Partner & co-CEO of Miller/Gold Talent Agency, Johnathan Chase, star of
Viking Quest
and
Johnny’s Bananas
, and Lloyd Lee, current Sr. Partner at Miller/Gold Talent Agency.

“It’s not as easy as people think, to be part of a celebrity’s entourage. We’re gonna help you get better at it. I promise,” said Donald Wahlberg, another esteemed member of a former entourage joining our faculty.

We here at Dodge College couldn’t be more excited to bring this program to our students, and help cover an aspect of the entertainment industry that has not be fully explored by any other school in the United States. We’re proud to be the first, and we are confident that many success stories will come of this.
