Good question, Vitrac…I know she is capable of taking initiative, but I can’t say she has always demonstrated doing so. And I think it is a question that she has to answer for herself…how much initiative will she take? And learning to take that initiative is an invaluable skill for her to develop. Don’t get me wrong, she is bright and a hard worker. She will still have to take initiative at IU, but the access to resources will be more direct. And that’s how I have compared the programs, one is not necessarily better…but more direct. Pros and cons with both. But that’s good to know there is a local ballet company…I will have her take a look at their website. The dance faculty said most of their service programs are around setting choreography for school groups or under served communities in NO parish. Not that she couldn’t come up with a different service project, but that seemed to be the most common one. She’d rather volunteer with advocacy, grant writing, etc.
