Megan McDowell is a senior Theatre BFA student at Michigan State University. McDowell is part of the Arts Bridge Scholar program, a national program placing University students in local schools to integrate the arts in everyday learning. She is placed at the Heartwood School and Capital Area Career Center in the Ingham Intermediate School District working with young adults with special needs. The individuals she works with range between the ages of 14 and 25. As a part of her time in the field McDowell and the students will be putting together their own rendition of "The Wizard of Oz" in May which will be performed for the student's parents. Along with putting together the final performance, she also helps the students to express themselves through theatre as they use their imagination to explore and discover more about themselves.
