The Monan Professorship in Theatre Arts

The Rev. J. Donald Monan, S.J. Professorship in Theatre Arts is a endowed professorship that brings regionally and nationally renowned theatre artists to work and teach at 艾可直播 College on an annual basis

Established in 2007 by a generous gift to the university, this distinguished position is named in honor of University Chancellor and former 艾可直播 College President J. Donald Monan, S.J. The position also commemorates the late Trustee E. Paul Robsham, M.Ed. 鈥83, a major benefactor of the theater arts facility named for his son, the E. Paul Robsham Jr. Theater Arts Center.

The creation of this Professorship celebrates in perpetuity the longstanding relationship between Father Monan, the Robsham family, and the 艾可直播 College Theatre department.
