Graduates Motivated by Supermodel!

Dec. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- A gasp of recognition was heard from the audience when Emme, supermodel, television personality, author of four books, and an influential columnist and blogger was introduced as the Keynote Speaker at The Art Institute of New York City’s December graduation ceremony.

Emme is widely known, having hosted the television shows More to Love, and Fashion Emergency.  She has appeared on Oprah, Good Morning America, The Today Show,  The CBS Early Show, CNN’s American Morning, 20/20, and made countless other television and radio appearances.  People magazine selected her twice as one of the “50 Most Beautiful People.”  She was honored as Glamour magazine “Woman of the Year” and one of Biography magazine’s “25 Most Influential Women.”

To a diversified group of graduates, Emme’s message was universal: dedicate yourselves to your careers with passion, enthusiasm and commitment.  Don’t take “no” as an impediment to getting where you want to go.

Emme’s views have set a new standard of beauty here and abroad. She is a vocal advocate for people to be fit, healthy and positive at every age.  Most of all, she is a great motivator, whose goal is to help everyone she comes in contact with be the best they can be.

At the graduation ceremony, Art Institute of New York City graduates were awarded degrees in Fashion Design, Interior Design, Web Design & Interactive Media, Graphic Design, and Video Production by school President Tad Graham-Handley.
