It reflects the value placed on arts education and its contribution to local culture and community identity. By celebrating the department's accomplishments, the resolution reinforces the importance of arts programs in higher education and encourages the continuation of such initiatives in Louisiana.
Senate Resolution 22, authored by Senator Milkovich, serves to commend Northwestern State University's Department of Creative and Performing Arts on reaching 30 years of creative and academic excellence. The resolution highlights the department's inception in 1989 and its designation as the Mrs. H.D. Dear Sr. and Alice E. Dear School of Creative and Performing Arts.
