Thanks to you,I’ll always be entertaining.An <strong>Honors</strong> <strong>College</strong> Research and Cre<strong>at</strong>ive Activities Award meant Caitlin McLeod wasone of 20 intern<strong>at</strong>ional students from 14 countries chosen to perform as a group—using props, puppets and costumes they cre<strong>at</strong>ed from paper—in Prague duringthe Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space in 2011. Calling it “the first truecollabor<strong>at</strong>ive process I was involved in,” McLeod said the experience “proved to be amagical night, one th<strong>at</strong> I will never forget.” A double major in art and the<strong>at</strong>er design,McLeod hopes to someday own a small puppet the<strong>at</strong>er company, work in streetthe<strong>at</strong>er and design shows for urban summer festivals. The best reason to supportUB is wh<strong>at</strong> students like Caitlin will do in the future.The best public universities have the strongest priv<strong>at</strong>e support.www.giving.buffalo.edu
