Kade Wereley-Bross, ’25, of West Lafayette, Ind., earned their degree in theatre from the College of Fine Arts, with minors in technical theatre and German. Kade was also a student in the Honors College, participated in several Ball State theatre productions, and served as a peer mentor for the Department of Theatre. Kade will teach in Germany, where they plan to implement theatre activities to teach English in an engaging way.

“An ETA award proves to me that all the hard work that I have put in for the last few years has had an impact on me and my skills,” Kade said. “I am looking forward to learning about traditional German cooking and baking and continuing my hunt for a cookie cutter for springerle, a traditional German cookie.”

We stopped by the Glick Center to see the team working on some pieces for the Cantio Hotel ( The Cantio )! Can't wait to see how this work of art comes together in the new space. 🫧 For this piece, the students' signatures were printed onto a part of the artwork!
