Calling All Students!
On Thursday, April 27th we will be welcoming roughly 24 high school students to visit campus and observe Theatre courses. I am looking for folks to help out (1) with facility tours and (2) assisting students to arrive successfully at their classes. You are also welcome to join us for lunch and later donuts. This is an opportunity for high schoolers to see what we do here and a great opportunity for YOU to help support the high school Theatre students in Kansas.
If you are free – even for 15 minutes – please volunteer to show students to their classes. If you have more time, consider going with us to eat lunch or grab donnuts. Regardless, we would LOVE to have you assist in some way.
Please email Shannon at sbskelton@ksu.edu BY THIS THURSDAY if you can help in any capacity.
The schedule is below:
