A personal welcome from John J. Thompson, Director of the Imagine House Network
What We Are
The Imagine House Network is the formalization of something that has been happening organically for over a decade — entertainment industry professionals investing their time, experience, and relationships into Lipscomb students.
The IHN gives that investment a name, a home, and a little more structure — without adding burden. If you've ever spoken to a class, hosted an intern, taken a call from a student, or showed up when it mattered, you're already part of this.
"We see what you're already doing for our students, we're grateful for it, and we'd love to make it a little more official — with no strings attached."
Six Disciplines
The Relationship
We're not asking for a committee seat or a formal contract. We're asking for a relationship — the kind that already exists for many of you.
Guest lectures, studio sessions, classroom visits, mentoring conversations — whatever you can give, whenever you can give it.
Internship opportunities, industry introductions, and the occasional "yes" to a student who just needs a door opened.
Help us understand what the industry actually needs. Your voice shapes what we teach and how we prepare students for the real world.

What You Get
We want to bring value to you — not just draw from you.
Network Members get first look at our best students for internships, hired positions, and project collaborations — before they hit the open market.
Members are featured in interviews, spotlights, and content delivered to students across all disciplines — establishing your voice in the next generation's world.
Members are publicly acknowledged — on the web, at events, in printed materials — and gain access to a community of peers who share a commitment to investing in what's next.
Through IHN's developing Service Bureau model, students are available to do actual work — design, music, animation, production — that brings real value to your business and projects.
Student Work in the Real World
Our students aren't practicing for the industry. They're already in it.
Coming Soon
The network is growing. Here's what's on the horizon.
The student-run, industry-connected music festival returns. Network members get early access and backstage involvement.
Formalized placements across all six disciplines — connecting your studio, firm, or company with the right student at the right time.
Creative professionals navigating career crossroads. A resource for the people you're already mentoring — formalized and available to the network.
Count Me In
No dues. No deadlines. No paperwork. Just get on the list — a real person will be in touch.
Thank you for making it official. John or a member of the IHN team will be in touch personally — we look forward to the relationship.
