Teacher Education Programs in the College of Fine Arts
UTeach Theatre students Adrian Lopez ‘21 and Natasha Batiste Cosme ‘21 worked alongside Mandy Rojas ‘18 and Dr. Sara Simons at the EXPLO summer program at Wellesley College. EXPLO is an experiential summer program where students engage in hands-on classes designed to spark curiosity. Three other UTeach Theatre students (Juan Leyva ‘21, Tori Husting ‘20, and Carlie Schoulz ‘20) taught at EXPLO programs at Wheaton College and Yale University.
It is with a heavy heart that we share the sad news that Tom Waggoner passed away on Tuesday, August 6th in Austin, Texas, with his children at his side. Tom worked in the College of Fine Arts from 2011 to 2016 as Program Director of Fine Arts Education and as a Supervisor of Student Teachers in the Butler School of Music. Tom was a tremendous advocate for arts education in the state of Texas and served in many capacities including his years as the President of the Board of Directors of the Center for Educator Development in the Fine Arts.
