Happy Monday and—welcome Spring! I hope that the official start of the new season finds you all well, and enjoying your favorite parts of the season (including those NIT victories!), as well as the upcoming Easter break!
|
As crazy as it sounds, we’re rapidly approaching the end of the academic year, since we’re already thinking about fall classes, finals, and commencement…and I look forward to celebrating all of these annual milestones with you all in the weeks to come. We’re also in the midst of recruitment of new students for our programs, and so I want to thank all the faculty, students, staff, and administrators who are giving their time and energy during this busy season to help us spread the good word about the College and our amazing degree programs to both prospective undergraduate and graduate students. I’m so grateful to all of you for this work!
|
|
|
As you’ll see below, we have successes to celebrate, upcoming events to promote, and lots of other good news to share. So: read on and enjoy! As always, also keep your good news and event notes coming, and I wish you all a great first full week of Spring…

Del Valle will also be appearing in two upcoming Cabaret projects expected this spring at the University Center.

| Del Valle is also part of the Theatre Council and is currently running for the executive board.
"I believe theatre is in everything; it can be scientific, philosophic, political, mathematical, and a plethora of other subjects that are taught here at Seton Hall. And with that I believe the theatre has a lot of potential with connecting with multiple student run programs around campus to give us all a stage for the hard work we’ve done for years," Del Valle mentioned.
He continued, "it’s a big mission of mine to establish the type of outreach students deserve, and that’s what my goal will be for the future; establishing a stage for those to stand on their own."
