And Breathe...

Dear School of Drama Community,

I write to inform you that Associate Professor David Boevers has chosen to step down as Option Coordinator for Production Technology and Management .

The position will be taken over by Assistant Teaching Professor Kevin Hines at the beginning of the new academic year, 2013/14.

I would like to thank David for the conscientious and very successful job he did while running the PTM Option for some ten years.

David has been involved in many course innovations, curriculum reviews, School Advisory Board visits, and the recent SWOT and scheduling initiatives during his time as PTM Option Coordinator, on top of many other responsibilities. He has also been a great conduit between other courses, the profession and our alumni in PTM.

I am sure you will all wish David the very best as he returns to the faculty to teach and pursue his many interests both within and outside the university.

Equally, I am sure you will all welcome Kevin Hines to the position of PTM Option Coordinator.

Kevin graduated for Yale with an MFA in 1995. He was a Project Manager at Chicago Scenic Studios before being appointed Technical Director of the Goodman Theater in Chicago. Kevin joined the School of Drama in 1998.

I look forward to the year ahead, confident that PTM has a fine educator and knowledgeable PTM Coordinator in place.

Best wishes,

Peter
