Over the past several years, Julie Wallace has worked as a member of our student staff in the UMS ticket office and in the office of the President, providing enthusiastic and creative support to UMS’s ongoing endeavors.  She is a lover of dance and musical theater, and she describes in this video how UMS continued to nurture that love of dance.  Julie notes, “I couldn’t imagine college without UMS.”

Volunteers are central to everything we do.  A 500-person usher corps, a 180-voice chorus, a 90-member Advisory Committee, a 34-member Board of Directors, student interns, a Teacher Advisory Committee, and countless others help us with strategic planning, special event planning, project-based assistance, backstage support, promoting performances, and putting up posters around town. We simply couldn’t do business without the support of volunteers, who collectively offer over 45,000 hours each year volunteering for UMS programs.

That’s why we’re spending the month of August highlighting the many ways in which volunteers contribute to the success of UMS.  Who knows?  Maybe you’d like to become a UMS volunteer yourself!
