The master classes with Laura Osnes, Santino Jimenez, and Bryce Pinkham particularly emphasized the importance of being yourself. This advice can mean 12 different things to 12 different people, and yet it is such a universal concept for actors… who are making a living pretending to be someone else.  Interacting with these guest

In other classes, I was able to have discussions on how to come up with the best decision method or how to be a supportive leader or manager.”  A critical foundation to this balance is a nuanced understanding of business ethics — a welcome emphasis for Melanie Brisbane ’21, a recent graduate who has worked at Boeing for 15 years.  “There was a strong

She always knew she wanted to play sports in college, but she did not decide on a sport until her junior year of high school. Many were surprised by her decision to play softball, but she said she looked at where she could succeed the most. “I’m not really that tall,” she said. “I’m 5-11, and my parents told me I was too short to play post (in basketball), so I decided on softball,” Miller said. “I knew I would be
