A group of ¾¨Ó㴫ý students attended the Region II Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF) Jan. 11-15 at Towson University Center for the Arts in Maryland.
Seven ¾¨Ó㴫ý students competed or were partners for Irene Ryan Acting Scholarships for their work in Theatre ¾¨Ó㴫ý productions: William Armentrout, Derek Fredrickson, Chelsea Gallo, David Lynch, Zachary O'Connor, Daniel Rutkowski, and Victoria Walker.

The students received travel/presentation grants from ¾¨Ó㴫ý's Drinko Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. The Drinko Center was created to enrich undergraduate education at ¾¨Ó㴫ý through advancing world-class teaching as well as by participating in collaborations that address community and regional needs including strengthening K-12 education. The Undergraduate Research Initiative provides funding for students to conduct research and to present their research at regional and national conferences. Visit for additional information about the Drinko Center.
