Description
Campus Connections are short 1-hour meet ups at various locations around campus. These events are designed to inspire you and the students you serve to become engaged campus citizens and form lasting relationships. The investment you make now will serve you well as you continue your service at AppState!
The Department of Theatre and Dance is one of seven departments housed in Appalachian's College of Fine and Applied Arts. Its mission is to facilitate transformative experiences for students and the public, which cultivate compassionate, creative, and collaborative communities through theatre and dance. The department also offers coursework for integrated learning through the arts to the general university student population. Its dynamic co-curricular production program provides exemplary theatre and dance experiences to departmental students, the university community, and the region.
Your Campus Connection event takes place in the venerable Valborg Theatre, home to Theatre and Dance productions and campus events since 1994. After an info session and overview of various T&D programs, includes a backstage tour of the Chapell Wilson Hall which opened in 1938 as Appalachian High School before becoming part of the university in 1965. The building was constructed through the Works Progress Administration (WPA), an ambitious employment and infrastructure program created by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1935, during the bleakest days of the Great Depression and was, among many other things, the first home of our campus radio station, WASU.
