CRLT Players recognized for excellence

The American Council on Education (ACE) and TIAA-CREF recently honored the CRLT Players Theatre Program with a Theodore M. Hesburgh Development Award Certificate of Excellence. The Hesburgh program seeks to strengthen the teaching tradition at U.S. undergraduate colleges and universities by acknowledging and rewarding exceptional faculty-development programs. The CRLT Players interactive theatre troupe breaks down barriers by helping faculty members open up and get more involved with sensitive topics that include dealing with people with disabilities, gender differences, race relations and internal politics present in some classrooms. Jeffrey Steiger, CRLT Theatre Program director, and Devon Dupay, assistant director, received the award Feb. 13 at the ACE annual meeting in Los Angeles.
