Arts Center names technical director

Donald Hopwood has been named the new technical director for The Quick Center for the Arts.

Hopwood's responsibilities will include running events, rehearsals and classes in the Rigas Family Theater, Garret Theatre and the rehearsal studio in Butler Memorial Gymnasium.

Hopwood would oversee technical management of the student and professional dance troupes.

He will also be responsible for supervising student workers, overseeing the upkeep and inventory of performance spaces and the designing of sets, lights and sound for student productions.

Hopwood previously worked as a member of the theater faculty at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford's Communication Arts Department.

Senior business majors garner scholarships

Two university business majors have been named William G. McGowan Scholars in honor of McGowan, the founder of MCI Communications Corporation.

Drew P. Crawford, senior accounting and finance major, and Shannon N. McCormick, a senior accounting major, were awarded full-tuition scholarships to St. Bonaventure for one year.

The program was open to eligible business majors who have achieved a minimum grade point average of 3.0 and have the recommendation of at least one school of business faculty member. A faculty committee made the selections, whom the McGowan Fund then endorsed.

They were asked to submit a 500- to 1,000-word essay on McGowan's contributions specifically to the telecommunications field, or to today's business world in general.
