Center for the Arts

The Center for the Arts is thrilled to welcome 9 core faculty, 17 affiliates and seven Ph.D. students to our community! Under faculty director Dani Snyder-Young, these affiliates were selected through an open application process. Our affiliates are experienced in visual arts, theatre, music and more; the core thread tying us all together is our interest in interdisciplinary creative practice research and the arts.

Please help us give them all a warm welcome!
