It was great meeting students from Grand Rapids University Prep Academy this afternoon! Thank you for coming out to learn more about Compass.
It was a great week to get off campus and go on a field trip! Students in the Production Essentials classes stopped by Lowing Light & Grip and had a tour with the owner, Dave Lowing. They also checked out some cool camera equipment available to rent through Braincell Camera.
