Alumni Spotlight! ✨🧑‍🎓🤠
Dustin Petrillo (BFA Theatre and Dance with a concentration in Musical Theatre '17)
Hometown: Cheyenne, WY
Current Town: St. Louis, MO

What have you been up to since you graduated?
"I’ve acted in over 30 productions regionally and in St. Louis proper for the past 7 years, a few of which I’ve been recognized critically as a St. Louis Theatre Circle nominee. Some of my favorite roles/experiences have been Hamlet in “Hamlet”, Ken in “Red”, Haskell Harelik in “The Immigrant”, Edmund in “Long Day’s Journey Into Night”, and Cliff in “Cabaret”. St. Louis has an incredible arts scene and is an amazing base to establish a budding acting career, or at least a good place to find likeminded creatives who are hungry to devise new artwork and build collaborations."

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT ✨🧑‍🎓🤠
Jazlyn Hart (BA Theatre and Dance '20)
Hometown: Alliance, Nebraska

What have you been up to since you graduated?
"I just completed six years directing a dance studio in McCook, Nebraska. While there I was the head instructor and taught a plethora of styles and techniques. I just moved back to my hometown and am currently teaching dance at my childhood studio along with directing their competition team. While a degree in dance isn’t 100% required to teach in a local studio, it gives me the opportunity to give my students the best foundation of dance technique in all aspects, whether they are recreational, aspiring teachers, or potentially professionals."

Strike a pose. 🕺📸💃
This week, students in THDN 1025: Welcome to the Industry explored campus during our Student Resource Scavenger Hunt! Students were tasked with taking selfies around the campus while discovering the various organizations, offices and people dedicated to helping them succeed during their time here. In between checking out Student Health Services, the Writing Center, ACES and more, students also found sculptures, a four-legged friend, and even a associate dean. 👀
