Hello,
- 00:02 - 00:05
this is Doctor Alison Upshaw from Stillman College.
- 00:05 - 00:08
I am the current vice chair of AC T
- 00:10 - 00:13
in January of 2024.
- 00:13 - 00:15
I will become the chair of AC T and I thought
- 00:15 - 00:18
it would be good to introduce myself to you and well,
- 00:18 - 00:20
to those of you who don't know me yet.
- 00:21 - 00:25
I am from walking barefoot over hot pavement and playing
- 00:25 - 00:28
shadow tag with my cousins until right before dark.
- 00:28 - 00:32
I am from Sunday school every Sunday and preaching every third.
- 00:32 - 00:34
I am from red clay dirt
- 00:34 - 00:37
and snapping your fingers was the same as calling the devil
- 00:39 - 00:42
from taking in clothes straight off the line in the
- 00:42 - 00:46
backyard and sitting quietly during thunderstorms while the Lord was,
- 00:49 - 00:51
I hold two degrees in voice performance
- 00:51 - 00:54
and a doctorate in interdisciplinary studies.
- 00:56 - 00:59
I am also a proud member of actors equity.
- 01:01 - 01:02
What does that mean?
- 01:03 - 01:07
All that means is that I can call hogs in French German. And I,
- 01:11 - 01:14
since my college does not have a drama program
- 01:14 - 01:17
currently and it's been years since high school,
- 01:17 - 01:20
I want to make it a priority to get to know you.
- 01:20 - 01:23
One of the things that I'll be doing is making time to meet you
- 01:23 - 01:28
for a chat and chew or wine and words or something like that.
- 01:28 - 01:28
I,
- 01:28 - 01:29
I don't know yet.
- 01:29 - 01:29
Um,
- 01:29 - 01:32
but I'd like to know more about how AC T
- 01:32 - 01:35
can serve you better and work towards that being.
- 01:36 - 01:39
I can't tell you how much I appreciate you.
- 01:39 - 01:42
Trusting me to lead AC T for these next two years.
- 01:42 - 01:46
I'm excited about strengthening our core values and expanding
- 01:46 - 01:49
our membership as well as increasing our participation.
- 01:51 - 01:55
So, feel free to reach out and introduce yourselves as well.
- 01:55 - 01:58
Thank you for all that you do for AC T and you
- 01:58 - 02:00
have an artful day.
