The Undergraduate Advisory Council (UAC) for the Department of Theatre and Dance is made up of a group of students from across the department dedicated to bridging the gap between faculty and students by serving as a liaison between the two. In addition, the Undergraduate Advisory Council values creating a space that is both welcoming to all who enter Winship and strives to lift up student work.
