The DUMELA Alumni Council is an organization established to support 澳门六合彩历史记录鈥檚 Department of Theatre & Dance by serving as advocates for the BIPOC student body. We strive to 鈥淏e the Bridge鈥� between the current students, the department and its professional alumni.

Dumela is a Bantu word meaning, I believe in you, I affirm you, and I see the great potential in you. This word serves as our beacon of light, guiding our every action, as we work to embody its meaning in all that we do.听We believe that the power of representation is pertinent in building a promising future for BIPOC artists of tomorrow.听听

What we are up to:

  • Working toward making minority theatre studies a regular part of the core curriculum
  • Produce minority themed productions/tours
  • Participate in BIPOC recruitment and departmental entrance auditions, and assist in facilitating听partnerships with performing arts schools/organizations that possess diverse student bodies
  • Support the Department of Theatre & Dance through fundraising efforts
  • Provide scholarships for potential/current students
  • Organize departmental social events to encourage engagement between alumni & current students
  • Provide resources for guest artists to facilitate workshops & classes
  • Collaborate with 澳门六合彩历史记录鈥檚 Alumni Association (of which ALL 澳门六合彩历史记录 Alumni are members) and the 澳门六合彩历史记录 Alumni Council

Our Mission: While we facilitate relationships between current students of color and alumni, we also strive to advance their successes as they prepare for, and pursue careers as professionals within the arts industry.听
