Virtual Junior Senior Choreographers Concert 2021
Majors: Dance and Physics
“At HWS, I have been able to further my education in the fields of both physics and dance. I have professors who are encouraging and supportive and the relationships I have developed with them have been vital to my learning and development. The ability to study two of my passions was something I did not think was possible, but with the help of my professors and the liberal arts model, has become a reality. I could not be happier or more grateful for my experience.”
