Merry Clingen’s Education

• California State University-Northridge

  Still working on it! , ART & THEATER , 1972 — 2010 (expected)

  Have returned to college the past few years to update my computer art skills and to eventually finish my BA in Art. In the '70s I dropped out of school for financial reasons and entered the work force. I became an Animation Artist and have enjoyed a long career, but have recognized the necessity of further education recently.
  
  I am currently hoping to complete my final GED class at Glendale Community College, and then transfer to a University to finish my upper division Art classes.
  
  I currently have 170 Units, and a GPA of 3.44

  Activities and Societies:

  Worked as a tecnician in school plays
