Min “Johnny” Kyaw, B.F.A. ’21
“I took a graphic design class in high school, and I was creating these ‘signature banners’ on online forums for people and I just loved creating. I've never looked back or thought twice about what I wanted to do when I went to college.”
VPA-Theatre major student portrait.
Evan Snaufer, B.A. ’24
“I’ve loved performing since I was little. Once I discovered theater, later in elementary school, I’ve always had a passion for it and strive to continue to build and grow as a performing artist so I can do it professionally and make a living out of something I love doing. Purdue Fort Wayne was my choice because of the opportunities I believe it can provide for me.”
