NYU Tisch West exists to increase the visibility of Tisch alumni working in the entertainment industry and to create professional inter-departmental collaborations and cross-generational relationships between alumni. NYU Tisch West is headed by The Tisch West Alumni Council, a working board that serves as the link between LA alumni and Tisch; the organizational arm for fundraising efforts in LA; and a bridge to ease the transition for alumni from East Coast to West -- the classroom to the entertainment business.

Tisch West Works is a collaborative arts forum that brings writers, directors, producers, and actors together to share and develop new creative work. For each session, writers have an opportunity to submit pages to have read, actors have an opportunity to present scenes, producers can pitch, and directors may present cuts of their films. The goal behind Tisch West Works is to provide a safe "think tank" to gain fresh perspective and support by fellow NYU alumni artists.
