Alumni Performing Arts Concert

The first ever Alumni Performing Arts Concert was held on Sunday, January 2 at 3:00pm in the Coville Theater. Katie Swimm ’02 and Steve Copps ’03 were the brainchildren behind the event as they proposed the idea to the Alumni Office and the Performing Arts faculty last fall. In November, Katie and Steve recruited alumni who are currently or were active in the performing arts at MPH and/or in college. Ten alumni responded and a new event was born! Mike Copps volunteered to serve as accompanist and Andy Wilson ’04 helped with the lighting. Over 50 people gathered to enjoy the performance and everyone hopes the event will become an annual one.
