Although I majored in Communication Arts, it was Prof. Bell’s Survey of Western Art I course that triggered my interest in building a career in the arts. [As a Teaching Assistant at The New School for Social Research], I hope to get my students as interested in the subject as I was when I took my Art History classes at MMC.

The Theatre Department was incredibly helpful in guiding me through my college years and beyond. The unique curriculum allowed me to explore a variety of disciplines within theatre and ultimately showed me that there were lots of opportunities that I didn’t even know existed.

As I continued to grow and learn throughout my internship, I was able to connect concepts that I have learned in different courses at Marymount [...] Specifically, I have been able to connect my experiences to marketing and fashion courses I have taken for the fashion marketing concentration.

The History and Mission of Arts Institutions was a very insightful course into the world of Theater Management. The professor, who has had several years of experience fundraising for various theatre companies, did an excellent job of teaching the class about the responsibilities, strategies, and obstacles that someone working in Theater Management must confront daily. He did this by providing us with case studies, by inviting guest lecturers from Broadway, and by assigning an end-of-the-year group project that allowed us to create our own nonprofit arts organization. From this course, I gained a comprehensive understanding of both Theatre Management and fundraising for nonprofit arts organizations.
