How to be labeled a Renaissance Man? Follow every opportunity, and then agree to be profiled for University publicity, apparently.
Let’s pick up a copy of the University of Victoria’s 2012-2013 Canadian Viewbook and see what’s inside!
Aaand… head over to page 10…
Or for a closer look…
Here’s the text (based on my responses to their questions):
A Renaissance man in the purest sense, Andrew is a little bit of everything. He’s an actor, writer, director, student senator, peer helper, faux physicist, editor, study group leader, part-time lab supervisor and rare sleeper. And he’s been to enough cast parties to fill up three memory cards with photos. Spy him volunteering in every nook and cranny of campus when he’s not churning out yet another five-star performance on the main stage of UVic’s Phoenix Theatre.
“Go join clubs, get into politics, volunteer, audition if that’s your thing; make an effort to connect in every way you can. When I became engaged with everything happening around me, that’s when campus came alive.”
They even included a link to this blog! How kind.
And now that I have graduated, and have since been an actor, science facilitator, playwright, stage manager, tutor, director, pirate, extra, web assistant, improv workshop leader and more (as can be seen on my photographic wrap-up of 2011, found here), I’m happy to not be proving them wrong.
Life is full and rich and fine indeed.
Cheers,
Andrew Wade
