A comment on Conversation: What would you go back to school to finish if you were going back?

Mar 3 2012: Oh, the places that I would go...I received a Presidential Fellowship to attend Emerson in Boston but I could not go because it would not have covered all of my expenses as an out of state grad student.
I have 4 areas of interest:
1) MFA in Theatre for Social Change, Theatre for Youth, or Applied Theatre from Northwestern U (to work with Michael Rohd et al), Arizona State U Tempe, CUNY (to work with the Creative Arts Team)
2) MA in Public History (to be an Education Director for a Museum).
3) I'm interested in Multi-Cultural Affairs at the university level.
4) I'm interested in advocacy and health care reform.
