Dear TDAA Student Body,
This is an extremely difficult email to write. I truly love this program and all of you. However, I am going to leave. I have been offered a position at East Carolina University and have accepted it. I will be leaving SUU as of June 30. I have learned so much from each and every one of you. This is a special program and that is because of each of you. I also reaffirm that I am still here for you. Please feel free to reach out for advice, recommendations, or just because you miss doing 10 minutes of cardio before each and every dance class to dorky 80s music. For my part, I will make a toast to you each and every time I drink a coffee, even if it is the third one of the day.
Relationships and mentorships are not limited by region or time zone. I hope to hear from you often.
Love,
-- Nancy Dobbs Owen, MFA, MA Assistant Professor, Dance THEATRE, DANCE, & ARTS ADMINISTRATION SOUTHERN UTAH UNIVERSITY
