Like their upper class peers, the majority of New Lutes rated themselves as Confident or Very Confident in performing the various steps in the research process (e.g. choosing a topic, searching databases, evaluating sources).

And in the fall, Chávez’s past struggles and successes informed her talk at the annual Pave the Way Conference, where she served as one of three featured speakers.

SEATTLE, WASH. (April 16, 2015)- Ordinarily, it takes many years for a Theatre Major to earn the opportunity to write, compose or star in a high-profile musical production. However, one Lute is dramatically defying that expectation. Justin Huertas graduated almost six years ago, in 2009,…
