NAST Accreditation
 Dr. Carey Adams, the Dean of the College of Arts and Letters, has sent along the following:
"I received word this week that the NAST Commission on
Accreditation has voted to continue your accreditation in good standing. Congratulations! While this successful outcome is no surprise
to any of us, it certainly is an occasion for celebration. Thank you for all the work you
contributed to the self-study and reaccreditation process; but, more
importantly, thank you for making the theatre programs so excellent. I look forward to the day when the New
York Times refers to you not only as "an unusually good drama program" but as a nationally-acclaimed one.
Great work!!
Dr.
Carey Adams, Dean
College
