Snyder School of Cinema & Media Arts Groundbreaking

Join us on Friday, September 6, 2024 at Biola University for a historic occasion as we celebrate God's faithfulness and break ground on the new Snyder School of Cinema & Media Arts studio facility. 

Due to the excessive heat warnings in La Mirada, and out of care for your comfort and safety, the groundbreaking ceremony will now be held indoors in the newly renovated Ethel Lee Auditorium (formerly Sutherland Auditorium).

While we’ve maxed out on free meals from our partner In-N-Out, guests who have yet to register can join us in the Biola Cafe at a discounted price. Bon Appetit, has agreed to offer discounted lunch to those who would like to stay for lunch and continue to celebrate.

If you were able to register and received a QR code In-N-Out ticket before they sold out, be sure to bring the ticket to the event. It will be scanned following the ceremony in exchange for the meal ticket to redeem at the Cookout Trucks.
