  • History of Towson University's MFA in Theatre Arts Program
    Towson University: College of Fine Arts and Communication M.F.A. in Theatre Arts History of Towson University’s M.F.A. in Theatre Arts Program The MFA Program in Theatre Arts at Towson University started in 1994 under the leadership of Juanita Rockwell. In its 20‐year history, the program has engaged in a number of ambitious projects (originated by both students and faculty), presented over 60 theatre projects and performance pieces and received a number of outside accolades for these endeavors. Students and alumni have worked with a variety of professional artists and have also gone on to create theatre companies of their own. They have also taught at a number of colleges and universities, and have embarked on successful professional careers at institutions around the country. Tours MFA productions have toured to international festivals in Bulgaria, Slovakia, Egypt, Poland and Hungary. National tours of shows have included trips to Boston, New York City, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Chicago, and Austin, Texas. In the summer of 2009, a group of MFA students did a Study Abroad Program to Wroclaw, Poland. There they attended the Grotowski Institute’s festival, “The World as a Place of Truth,” a celebration of the life and work of the famous Polish theatre director Jerzy Grotowski. The students also participated in a five‐day, six‐hours‐a‐day workshop with Teatr ZAR, the in‐house theatre company at the Grotowski Institute. In the summer of 2011, the program presented a showcase at the ToRoNaDa Space in New York City. The two‐week showcase, entitled Modicums, includes The Natasha Plays; Return to Sender by Shannon McPhee; The Title Sounded Better in French by Lola B.

  • The Advocate
    THE ADVOCATE Newsletter of the Towson University Retired Faculty Association Spring/Summer 2020 President’s Message I write this from my home where I am keeping away from others—even the gym has closed!! Who knew what this year would bring when I wrote my letter in the fall—or even a month ago? The year certainly has been busy. Under TURFA sponsorship, we have toured the Amazon distribution center, brushed up on skills to use Towson’s online interface, and learned about “The Power of the Presidency and the Impeachment Inquiry,” a talk given by Professor Jack Fruchtman (Political Science). While we planned another talk for the spring semester, the closure of TU’s campus has put that on hold. Our website, which has been redesigned by President-Elect candidate Ron Matlon and is being maintained by Peg Benner, is a good source for information about TURFA news and about ongoing and future TURFA programs and events: https://www.towson.edu/retiredfaculty/. We have just received notification from the president of AROHE (the Association of Retirement Organizations in Higher Education) that they will include on their web site the survey that TURFA conducted several years ago, tabulating the post-retirement productivity and activities of TU faculty and librarians, as a resource for all member institutions to use. This year has brought updates to operating procedures and to relationships with the main TU community. TURFA has a voting membership on the Academic Senate, and we continue to work to have faculty emeriti included in the University Catalog. As we address issues of concern to retirees, we find holes in past practices (years when the Senate minutes did not list faculty emeriti, for example).

Summer is just around the corner, then starts a brand new semester! We hope everyone has a relaxing, safe summer break and returns fresh and ready in the fall for a new school year. We are very proud of our program and our students for all their accomplishments. The program has grown significantly in the last several years and we continue to work on maintaining quality in our curriculum to keep pace with the constant changes in the health care environment. As the program grows, so do the challenges of matching students to their internship sites. This process is very complex and requires significant pre-work from both the prospective interns and involved faculty. However, this would not be possible without the constant support from our preceptors in accepting our interns and the true dedication from our internship coordinator and faculty supervisors. In This I want to thank members of our advisory board in helping us enhance the quality of Newsletter: the program. I also thank our faculty members tenured, clinical, and adjunct who went above and beyond in and out-side of the classroom. In addition, I would like Career & Skill to thank our students who have provided us with input to enhance their experience Building and learning.
