Ludacris is celebrating his homecoming at Georgia State University in a memorable way. The school’s former student now mega-star announced a program that’ll set students down a path of entrepreneurship in the entertainment field. The university’s Creative Media Industries Institute (CMII) will receive the Atlanta native as an artist-in-resident this fall semester.
“Georgia State is one of the most innovative and diverse universities in the country,” he said in a statement, per Georgia State University News Hub. “I couldn’t imagine a better place to work with students than CMII.” The program was founded in 2014 as a gateway for students to utilize their degrees to enhance Atlanta’s music and film sectors and beyond.
In the late ’90s, Ludacris pursued a degree in music management. Now, he’ll be able to share tips and lectures on successful entrepreneurship and work in tandem with professors.
“Chris is an incredibly talented artist and has so much industry knowledge to share,” Brennen Dicker, CMII executive director, said. “We are excited to see how our students, and really the entire institute, will benefit from this great new partnership.”
