James Bundy, dean of the School of Drama, has announced the newest members of the Leadership Council, a team of advocates who will work to support participation in both the school and the Yale Repertory Theatre.

The members will consult, advise and collaborate with the dean, faculty and senior staff of the School of Drama to support its strategic aims.
