Industry insiders will participate as panelists and speak to students about breaking into and working in New York City's entertainment production industry. Commissioner Katherine Oliver will begin the seminar with an interview with “Law & Order: SVU” star Tamara Tunie, who will share her personal experience working in New York City's entertainment industry and upcoming projects in both acting and directing.
