When the new OCVIBE<\/a> entertainment district opens in Anaheim over the next three years, a crew of Titans will be able to say they were there from the beginning.<\/p>\n

Emily Sharp \u201915, \u201922 (B.A. communications-public relations, MBA-marketing), the communications manager for OCVIBE, is one of a half-dozen CSUF alumni who work for the OCVIBE district or one of its venues, which currently include the Honda Center and the Grove of Anaheim.<\/p>\n

Sharp and her colleagues \u2014 including Lindsey Brackett \u201921 (B.A. communications-advertising), Gillian Frey \u201923 (B.A. communications-advertising), Quinn Kim \u201916 (B.A. communications-public relations), Erika Muir \u201913 (B.A. communications-entertainment studies), and Andie D\u2019Avino \u201925 (B.A. sociology) \u2014 promote OCVIBE, market events at the existing venues, and work with the executive team on strategy and partnerships.<\/p>\n

Construction of the OCVIBE entertainment district in Anaheim is underway, with elements such as restaurants slated to begin opening in 2026.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Progress is happening fast on the $4 billion future entertainment district anchored by the Honda Center. OCVIBE will eventually cover 100 acres \u2014 about the size of Disneyland \u2014 with a food hall and several full-service restaurants, an intimate club and a concert hall with capacity for 5,700, an eco-friendly office building, public plazas and green spaces, and 2,500 apartments.<\/p>\n

Sharp said the goal is to finish the project in time for the 2028 Summer Olympics, when the Honda Center will host indoor volleyball.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s compelling about working on OCVIBE is being able to create something that the community can enjoy for decades to come, several of the Titan staffers said.<\/p>\n

Emily Sharp, communications manager for OCVIBE, is one of several Titans working on bringing the new entertainment district to life.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cOCVIBE is very much like a startup,\u201d Sharp said. \u201cWe\u2019re building this from the ground up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Muir, OCVIBE\u2019s director of media and communications, remembers that growing up in OC, there wasn\u2019t an \u201cepicenter\u201d for entertainment, \u201cso I\u2019m excited that future generations will have that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Muir transferred to CSUF to study communications<\/a> and found like-minded people in the Entertainment and Tourism Club<\/a>. Those relationships have continued, bringing her back to campus to speak on panels and fostering connections with fellow Titans at the office.<\/p>\n

Frey, the Honda Center\u2019s marketing coordinator, was a transfer student who got involved in CSUF\u2019s Behind the Scenes<\/a> business organization, which led to an internship and a full-time job. Making cold calls in an advertising sales class and giving presentations in business attire was great practice for a future corporate role, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI chose Cal State Fullerton because it has a great reputation\u201d for launching careers in advertising, marketing and communications, Frey said. \u201cI was really happy to start my career, but I was sad to leave Fullerton because I loved it so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frey, who saw \u201cDisney on Ice\u201d at the Honda Center as a child, is excited about visiting the new restaurants and venues as a guest.<\/p>\n

Muir loves being able to attend groundbreakings, building topping-off ceremonies and other firsts as the district comes into existence.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the coolest thing for me to be part of OCVIBE is just being able to say I was there,\u201d Muir said.<\/p>\n

To Sharp, helping create and promote the county\u2019s newest major entertainment destination is a Titan team effort.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery single person is invested in making this better because this is our community.\u201d<\/p>\n
