"In my time in the University of Windsor’s BFA Acting program I found a home, and a family. The School of Dramatic Art fosters a collaborative environment in which students are encouraged to work positively with their peers to challenge one another and guide one another to their full potential. They provide a rigours, comprehensive program tying together extensive opportunities to master both theory and practice for success. I am delighted and honoured to be a graduate of the BFA Acting program. I cannot think of a better place to get the training that I have received. It has led me to a professional career directly out of school and has fostered incredible opportunities for me.”
