Experiential learning focus of new position at Dietrich School
By SUSAN JONES
A new position in the Dietrich School of Arts & Sciences is aimed at expanding experiential learning for students, and the person in the role, Abdesalam Soudi, is busy talking to faculty and others about their experiences and ideas in this area.
Soudi, a teaching associate professor in the Department of Linguistics, was named Dean's Fellow for Experiential Learning (ExL) in August 2024.
Pitt Stages is bringing this professor’s play to life for the first time
Pitt Stages is kicking off its spring season with “Morning Reckoning,” a play that harkens back to the 1990s, a golden era of boy bands and teen girl fandom — and formative years for playwright Kelly Trumbull.
Trumbull is a teaching assistant professor in the Department of Theatre Arts within Pitt’s Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences. Though she has directing experience, she’s taken a hands-off approach to her show’s Pitt debut. It’s the first time “Morning Reckoning” has been performed in its entirety.
