Some journeys take unexpected turns, but with determination and the right support, incredible things can happen. 💙💛🐾

After facing life-changing challenges, one Barton student refused to give up. With encouragement from faculty, Student Support Services, and plenty of perseverance, Lauren Heller not only earned her degree but also returned to the dance team she loves.

Lauren's story is a reminder that setbacks don’t define your future. At Barton, you’ll find people who believe in you every step of the way.

🎥 Watch her inspiring journey and see what’s possible when resilience meets support.

That’s a wrap on Cougar Stage Camp! 🎭✨

Last week, attendees teamed up with Barton Theatre students and faculty to create, rehearse, and perform an original one-act play while learning about acting, directing, and set design.

Bravo to all of our young performers! You all brought creativity, confidence, and plenty of stage presence to the Fine Arts Building. We can’t wait to see you all on stage again in the future! 👏🎬
