Razor’s Edge Shark Talent Scholars in DPVA Promote the Arts

The Razor’s Edge Shark Talent Scholars program is designed for first time in college freshman who have been active in community or high school arts programs and want to promote the arts and bring people together. These students are majors or minors in the Department of Performing and Visual Arts (DPVA) in NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS). Working in three committees – social media, audience relations, and audience development – these 43 students worked on several DPVA events, including the Mayfly (24-hour theatre project/Oct 6); Facing Forward (breast cancer awareness event on Oct 18); and supported the over 100 high school students (teaching dance classes and coordinating the crowd) on Dance Awareness Day (Oct 24). Through a collaboration with Student Affairs and the Venetian Arts Society, these students once again packed the house for Tony Award winning artist Levi Kreis. These students are making a difference and several of these events were so popular that people had to be turned away.
