The first English section meeting of the year was held \u2013 on Zoom, of course. This meeting brings together all students from all professional training programs in the English section, as well as program directors, associate artists and resident artists. As per tradition for a few years now, we asked returning students to bestow advice upon first-year students. Here is a snippet of what they had to say.<\/p>\n

\n

Julian Smith<\/strong>, Production Design and Technical Arts<\/a> 2: \u201cNow more than ever, mental health is really important. Take care of yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Henry Beasley<\/strong>, Acting<\/a> 2: \u201cGet to know the other programs. Don\u2019t miss any chance. Community is what makes this school great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jena McLean<\/strong>, Playwriting<\/a> 3: \u201cThere are going to be moments when you cannot trust yourself or your artistic ability, but other people will. Find your people, in other programs and even outside of school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brandon Carabin<\/strong>, Acting 2: \u201cYou are enough. You already earned your spot here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jung A Im<\/strong>, Set and Costume Design<\/a> 3: \u201cIf you\u2019re having trouble with a school project, don\u2019t be discouraged, keep going. A brilliant idea will pop up at a dramatic moment!\u201d<\/p>\n

Anaka Sandhu<\/strong>, Acting 2: \u201c Advocate for yourself. You know yourself best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reena Jolly<\/strong>, Acting 2: \u201cInvest in your classmates. They\u2019re your family, your bubbles. I love my classmates and you will too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jared Wonago<\/strong>, Acting 2: \u201cDo not forget about your hobbies. You can\u2019t be in school 24\/7. Whether it\u2019s cooking, reading, going for a run, or meditating, do it! It really helps to decompress.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charles Brien<\/strong>, Acting 2: \u201cYou\u2019re going to meet so many instructors. Take what speaks to you. Make this school YOUR school.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kira Chisholm<\/strong>, Acting 2: \u201cMost of all, have fun. Soak it up. Get all you can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mara Teare<\/strong>, Acting 3: \u201cDo not underestimate the power of a good night\u2019s sleep and drinking plenty of water. Make sure your basic needs are met first, that will set you up for success.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
