At the 83rd Annual CU Alumni Association Awards Ceremony, 1 November 2012, alumni and donor Roe Green (BA, 1970) was honored with this year’s Alumni Recognition Award, for “her generosity of spirit, her allegiance to learning and her passionate advocacy for the arts.” Eight years ago she established the Roe Green Visiting Theatre Artist Residency which provides funds to annually bring to campus an accomplished theatre professional to work alongside CU Students. This year’s Roe Green Visiting Theatre Artist was Tim Miller, who during his month-long residency guided 20 students through the process of writing and performing an original work called LITMUS, which was performed in the Loft Theatre, 24-28 October 2012.
Ms. Green has also pledged $2 million in order to establish the Roe Green Endowed Chair in Theatre, the first endowed faculty position in the arts at CU-Boulder. Upon acce
pting her award, Ms. Green noted that during her years at CU-Boulder, “I discovered the joys of personal growth, imagination, and expanding horizons and mastery.”
We applaud Ms. Green for investing in the future of the Department of Theatre & Dance and for expanding our horizons.
