ABOUT JEAN CAMPBELL

Her dissertation, titled An Approach to Human Movement for the Stage: The Scientific Bases of Efficient Movement and the Theoretical Bases of Expressive Movement, was published in 1976. Campbell obtained her Master of Arts in Theatre from BGSU in 1968. She obtained her Ph.D. in Theatre from BGSU in 1976.
COACH'S QUOTE
"We're excited to have alumni back on campus to see the changes the campus has made and meet the team. It's always a great time to reunite with alumni. We've been competing against ourselves the last six weeks, so next weekend's meet in Buffalo will be a nice guidepost to our training and we can see things going in the right direction."
