Faculty NewsProfessor Michael Denison, associate professor of theatre and speech, spent the last week of 2013 in London, England, on a first-time-ever vacation with his two sisters. They attended a performance of Matilda, the Musical, which was terrific, and mixed with the crowd of approximately 250,000 people on the banks of the Thames watching the New Year’s Eve fireworks and singing “Auld Lang Syne.” Professor Denison now feels rejuvenated and ready to face the coming semester!
