A leader and pioneer in curriculum based standards and exciting and educational custom designed workshops and presentations, she has been recognized as a cutting edge and highly effective creative presence within public and private schools nationwide. She has been dedicated to arts and education for the past twenty years. Graduating from New York University with a degree in theater and communication, she began her work early on as a theatrical talent agent and casting director in Hollywood. Due to her expertise and comprehensive focus on education, she was asked to teach acting to at-risk teenagers with Jean Stapleton's foundation, The Academy of Performing and Visual Arts in East Los Angeles. Out of her work with these artistically talented and gifted young people, she co-wrote and directed a musical play entitled Second Chance, which toured as an Equity TYA contract to over 350,000 students in California and surrounding states. National mental health experts recognized the play as an inspirational arts model for crisis intervention, and interpersonal issues amongst teenagers at risk throughout the country. WGBH/PBS was so impressed with the play they commissioned it for adaptation to teleplay in 1996.

  • Choosing the Right Path
    MAGAZINE SPRING 2015 The Choosing the right path BUTLER With every pedagogical and strategic decision we make at UNIVERSITY Butler University, we must ask ourselves a crucial question: What will the future of learning look like? Advances in technological quality and access; shifting A MESSAGE demographics; rising educational-delivery costs and student-debt loads; nationwide cuts in public-university from funding; a growing movement among bright young people PRESIDENT to skip the college experience; and the promise of micro- credentialing—among other factors—have forced American JAMES M. universities to recognize that undergraduate education is DANKO in the midst of a profound transformation from which there will be no return. Harvard Professor Clayton Christensen, an expert in disruptive innovation, has asserted that half of all American universities may be bankrupt by 2028. While I view this estimate as high, I do believe that 20 percent is a reasonable prediction. However, I also know that Butler is exceptionally well prepared for this sea change in higher education. As we continue to make thoughtful decisions as a collaborative community, we are ensuring that Butler not only survives for many generations to come, but thrives. In the approaching decades, there will be an ongoing demand among young people and their families for high-quality, traditional, residential undergraduate education. Although the number of schools that offer this campus experience may shrink, those who do it best—including Butler—will succeed. Accordingly, in our Butler 2020 Strategic Plan, we are protecting our University’s unique character by investing in the attributes that define it: outstanding academics within a caring campus community; faculty who are accessible to their students; a commitment to integrate the liberal arts with professional education; learning that emphasizes global perspectives, critical thinking, and meaningful volunteerism; and curricular and extra-curricular programs that prepare graduates for lives of purpose in an increasingly complex world.
