💚 We are still thrilled from last week's incredible performance of Matilda! 🚀 A huge shout out to the amazing backstage stagecraft team and pit who made the magic happen behind the scenes. From that changes to lighting, props to sound… Your hard work, creativity, and precision brought the entire show to life in ways the audience may not always see, but absolutely feels. 📸 Lighting doesn't always cooperate with great backstage photos, but we wanted to give a shout out to this amazing dedicated and passionate crew.

Last week, the Carpenters Local Union visited campus with the mobile
Schools to Tools fieldtrip. Students gained awareness of career opportunities in the construction trades and apprenticeship programs.
