Achievements
Associate Professor of Speech and Theatre Andrea J. Nouryeh has been named the Frank P. Piskor Faculty Lecturer for 2006. Next spring, Nouryeh will deliver a lecture on campus on the topic “An Experiment in Equality: The Stage Door Canteen.” She describes the canteen, which operated in New York’s Theater District 1942-46, as “an international, interracial and intercultural experiment” that “became part of the United States Armed Forces' reversal of its segregationist policies.”
