Kudos to Lucy Heimer, professor of curriculum and instruction, and the Master of Science in Education in Early Childhood Education Policy (MSE in ECEP) program, who received a grant award of $50,621 from the Early Childhood Policy in Institutions of Higher Education. The award, which runs through June 2027, will support ongoing research and scholarship and support tuition fellowships of up to 50% for three to five MSE in ECEP students.
Kudos to Robyn Accetta and Matthew Imhoff, assistant professors of theatre/dance, who presented the workshop “Crafting a Shared Vision” at the American College Theatre Festival Region 3 Annual Conference in January. The workshop explored the collaborative relationship between designers and directors. Imhoff also presented a workshop, "From Xacto to Exact,” that introduced attendees to the craft of detailed scenic model building. Eric Appleton, associate professor of theatre/dance, presented the workshop "Deep-Dive Script Analysis,” exploring and analyzing a play text from a production viewpoint.
