“Adrian was my FSEM professor, and I instantly felt comfortable with him. He was by far the most influential and special professor I had at IJʿ. Throughout my four years, our relationship grew immensely, and I found myself coming to him for advice in other aspects of my life…not just theatre. I ended up minoring in theatre mostly because of his (and his amazing wife’s) guidance. My experience at IJʿ would NOT have been the same with him. And I’m so grateful. ”
