They are attentive and caring, and are always ready to talk about anything, class-related or not. It’s a family-like bond I haven’t found in any other department.Why did you choose NSU?I began as a Marine Biology major and chose NSU for the incredible biology program. However, after realizing my true passion, I stayed at NSU for the opportunities the theatre program gave me. What are your plans after graduation?I plan to get a few professional theatre credits on my resume in South Florida before eventually moving to New York.Cl ass of201 7S h a r k s  o n  t h e  S c e n e         PVA Shark Talent students kicked off the year with their first companion event on Oct 15th following the Saturday matinée performance of Dog Sees God. NSU’s Dr. Michael Reiter from the Department of Family     Therapy held a talk-back with  the help of the fantastic cast.                Audience members stayed behind to discuss some of the themes touched on during the show, such as suicide, sexual identity, bullying, and drug and alcohol abuse.“Discussing these issues is important, and I am very glad to have been a part of this opportunity to discuss them in a safe space,” says cast member Amber Gaffney, a freshman Theatre major. We look forward to future events organized by our Shark Talent members.         This semester in Gallery217, NSU’s Art & Design Faculty hosted several gallery programs from September 9th to November 15th, including an Opening Reception, a Print-Making Workshop, and a Walk-n-Talk Lecture.3217GalleryCORNERKandy Lopez, M.F.A.Kandy Lopez is the newest addition to our department and the work exhibited included pieces from her most recent col-lection, Armour.
