Even though I have so much more to learn (and always will), so many more demographics to experience, and many more cultural and societal epiphanies to have, I am so appreciative to the Ed Theatre program and the many people I have interacted with at City College, for providing such priceless insights and strategies that are now becoming second nature.
I've loved being a part of this program!

The professors and advisors make themselves 100% available to you - the amount of support I feel I have is insurmountable! Anytime there is a question about an assignment, a class, or the "field" in general, I always get a quick, thought-provoking, and honest response. I feel that the students in the Educational Theatre program are incredibly supportive and appreciative of one another. Everyone brings something different to the table, and having a strong network of friendly faces and resources is almost as beneficial as the degree itself!
The great thing about Educational Theatre is that it combines two fields in which you are constantly learning - Education and the Performing Arts. You never stop growing, developing, or discovering new elements in either topic, which is the most exciting aspect. CCNY's program has provided the fuel for me to continuously be inquiring and reflecting upon what I do.

I knew the Educational Theater program at CCNY was magical from the moment I started classes. The faculty are not only leaders in the field, but they are the most caring, supportive people who work hard to make sure each student succeeds in their own unique way. I feel more confident and inspired in my career as an arts educator and administrator as a result of my time here!

The Educational Theatre Program at CCNY helped me find my voice and gave me the tools I need to advocate for myself and for the field. I'm proud to be a part of this ensemble and to bring what I've learned to my professional life.
