I was a student there from 1976 to 1978. I was a theatre major. I have done stage and movies in and around AZ since then. Some of the movies are notable such as Transamerica which was nominated for 2 Oscars. I didn't complete my degree but along with my credits and professional experience, won't you grant me an honorary degree? I anxiously await your reply. Wes Norton
