Theatre Lessons
Two undergraduates are using theatre as the medium to convey
their thesis research. In "Hopes and an Orange Duck," nutrition
major Ameca Shang explores eating disorders in Asian-American women.
Geography major Elizabeth Andrews wrote "Chalk Tracings" to portray one
school district's fight for equal funding.
