Thank you for your support of our students, faculty, and staff this year. We cannot successfully fulfill our educational mission without your attendance at over 100 events we sponsor each year. We appreciate you telling your friends and neighbors about the many outstanding arts events available on the SUU campus. The growing support by the campus and the community is seen in the increasing attendance at our events and support for our programs. (Photo: South Hall on the SUU campus)
We are hard at work planning for our 10th Anniversary year as a college. In doing so, I want to recognize the incredible amount of hard work and dedication that has gone into making our college a success. Next year we will be honoring our past, celebrating the present, and planning for future. The growth and development of the College of Performing and Visual Arts over these last nine years has been nothing short of remarkable. We look forward to sharing this celebration with you next year.
This issue contains a wealth of information about the wide range of accomplishments and activities of our faculty, staff, students, and alumni. Our faculty will be working world-wide this summer and our students will be engaged in activities with theatre, dance, opera, and summer festivals around the world.
In our department reports, you’ll read about Art & Design’s continued extraordinary growth with another record enrollment year. Our Arts Administration graduate program continues to place students in exciting and challenging internships around the country. Music will be hiring a new position in Music Education and the new Bachelor of Music degree will be implemented starting this fall. Theatre Arts & Dance has once again been recognized at the American College Dance Festival, has over 30 students working at the Utah Shakespearean Festival this summer, and will implement the new Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre starting this fall. The Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery will feature two special exhibits this summer and the Utah Shakespearean Festival has another extraordinary season ahead. Last, but not least, read about our Ballroom Dance Company’s tour to New England during May.
