Class Rank: Junior
Major and Minor: Dance Major, Art History and Theatre Minor
Why did you chose to attend WVU?
I was awarded a full scholarship for the musical theatre program here. I accepted
it and chose to come here because I was excited for the opportunity to explore
all my passions in a large university setting rather than a conservatory environment,
in which I would only have been able to pursue one thing; I was not willing
to narrow down my university education to one area of study.
What do you like about your major and your WVU experience?
My favorite thing about my major, minors, and WVU experience has been my FACULTY.
The caliber of the faculty here is incredibly motivating; what makes them unique
is their simultaneous personability
, accessibility, and professionalism. The dance faculty are dedicated to their
craft, and their discipline in the pursuit of its education is evident in their
teaching methods as well as in their work ethic as dancers themselves. Very
frequently, Professor Kadaar and Professor Hambrick will drop in and take class
from fellow instructors alongside us students.
What advice would you give to prospective students considering attending WVU's
College of Creative Arts?
If you have a variety of talents or interests, you will be able to pursue all
of them here at WVU's College of Creative Arts. Do not limit yourself to one
thing, and do not be afraid of branching out and exploring all that this institution
has to offer!
