Callng All Collaborative Artists!


Freshmen and new transfer students! Are you interested in learning more about TheaterCNU?


Returning students***! Are you interested in sharing your knowledge, insight, and experience with TheaterCNU to the new students?


Then join the Collaborative Artists (CA) program, sponsored by Alpha Psi Omega! We pair a new student with a returning student to allow him or her to learn all about the department!


If you want to participate—new AND returning students—take the survey at this link, and we will match you up!

Fill out the survey by Saturday, August 28 by 5pm.


Then, come to the Welcome Back Potluck on Sunday, August 29 at 1pm to find out who your CA is!
