Professor sees talent

A relatively new faculty member on campus, Professor Nelson Lopez sees a lot of opportunity on Bellarmine's campus.

The professor of Spanish has high hopes for both the foreign language program and the theatre program.

Some of his ideas for developing these programs include, integrating the community.

"There is a great Hispanic/Latino community out there," he said.

He has been involved recently in the Student Theatre at Bellarmine (ST@B) production, "Beyond Therapy."

He would like to see the theatre program developed with more of an international scope, and become more involved with the Metroversity program and possibly even local theatres and theatre groups for a unique program.

"I know there is an interest," he said about theatre on campus. "There are resources-the people are here."

Lopez describes Bellarmine students as being not only intelligent, but also talented.

"I think art is something that Bellarmine should encourage students to participate in. We're moving, we're growing and I hope we include art in that. We have heart."
