Dear Dartmouth Department of Theater,
I am thrilled to be joining the Dartmouth community and to begin this next chapter of teaching, learning, and creating alongside you.

It is a privilege to join an educational community that values both artistic excellence and intellectual inquiry, and I am eager to contribute to that spirit. I cannot wait to meet you all and begin this work together.
Best!
