Meet Simona Lucchi, senior in Ƶ Department of Dance
April 20, 2021
As a young girl, Italian-born Simona Lucchi was never really upright a lot of the time, somersaulting as a toddler, and swinging from the monkey bars as soon as she could reach them. Her parents quickly realized she needed an outlet, and enrolled Simona in gymnastics when she was six.

Jess Ford takes on many roles in Department of Theatre and Performance Studies
March 23, 2021
Jess Ford (they/them) would have to agree with Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar when he says, “It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves.” Ford has certainly not left it up to the stars to determine their fate, but, instead, have taken advantage of the opportunities available as an acting concentration major in Ƶ’s Department of Theatre and Performance Studies (TPS). With a keen interest in both scenic design and acting, Ford was thrilled when KSU allowed them to take classes in both, and then asked them to become scenic charge of the KSU’s Scene Shop. “Going into college, I told myself that I think I want to pursue scenic design, but it was a lie, since my first love was acting,” they said. They quickly realized they could do both with the unique nature of the B.A. program. “I can pursue whatever I want, take the classes that I really enjoy, and that are beneficial to me,” they added.
