Women of Note: Caitlin Yuhas

Caitin is a Senior and a dance major. She was in the journalism program where she found it fulfilling to communicate and to complete projects. She is currently writing arts columns for the Wheel.

Caitlin has been dancing since she was 3 years old, mostly modern jazz and contemporary; and she finds the dance program at Emory to be of an excellent caliber, with a demanding and supportive faculty. She is excited to graduate this spring, with plans to settle in San Francisco and audition for dance programs there. She wants to eventually pursue a MFA and teach, after performing for a period of time. Her goal is to inspire students the way she was inspired.

Caitlin says that leadership opportunities at Emory are abundant, and those experiences are supported by faculty and administration so that students can fully participate and discover their potential. She has been impressed by the especially strong contacts between students and faculty in their major area of study.Caitlin has also admired the opportunities for interdisciplinary study – she has had some ideas for green theater space. Her time at Emory has taught her that experience delivers guidance, to those who look for it.
