New 'advocates' for theater
are named to council

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.

Council members were chosen for their expertise in the arts and business and for their curiosity about theater and all creative endeavors. The members will consult, advise and collaborate with the dean, faculty and senior staff of the School of Drama to support its strategic aims. They will be active in fundraising and helping to recruit, cultivate and solicit support for the school. In addition, they will serve as advocates in the alumni communities of Yale, as well as in foundation, government, corporate and professional circles.
