“ My decision to return to school in my mid-forties for the M.A.A.A. was a big one. While developing skills and language to make me a more effective advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion in the arts, I've connected with some awesome people and I have learned an incredible amount already. The community at Goucher knows what they're doing and they truly care. ”
