My employee has attempted to contact GIA to enroll in a course for several days, and after waiting on hold for over 50 minutes, finally was successful today. I find it alarming that GIA can't answer the phone, and am very concerned/confused as to why the phone systems aren't working at GIA here in Carlsbad. I wouldn't have generally gone out of my way to do something like this, but after over a week of being on hold, someone in upper management needs to know about how horribly difficult it has been to call GIA. I'm trying to give you my money... THANK YOU-

Great gift, a Jewelers eye shot. Looks up his alma mater whilst traveling once more. Always like hearing what's new from resource counselor. We should work together for stronger trade for recycling industry. Great at sea although it's been a cool while. Hit me for hire.

Such a nice place to study! Great campus, wonderful teachers and stuff. It is towards the priceier side, but it is really worth it, you learn A LOT during the short among of time you spend there and I made some great contacts! I hope one day they will have a BA or MA degree tho ;) You go GIA!!! Miss Carlsbad and the teachers there soooo much!
