π ASP STUDENT SPOTLIGHT! π
Raven Burckhalter (she/her/hers) - Senior ASP student
Raven Burckhalter is a senior in the Academic Success Program majoring in Musical Theater. She is involved on campus in theater and performance, including her recent performance in 'Be More Chill'. Raven is the creator and president of the Change of Scene, a club on campus for BIPOC theater performers and creators. This past summer she earned an ASP scholarship and was able to attend a two month theater workshop alongside Philly's best thespians, writers, and directors at the Walnut Street & Wilma Theater. Raven is incredibly grateful for the connections she's been able to make both on and off campus during her time at WCU. She will graduate this December.
