Amanda Nguyen

Amanda Nguyen is pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in theatre within the Arizona State University School of Theatre and Film and a Bachelor of Art in business from the W.P. Carey School of Business. She recently was featured in The State Press for her work in founding ASU GLEEders, a glee club for area youth. The organization joins students of varied ages and abilities from area public schools with ASU students, who serve as mentors.

Through singing and dancing, Nguyen designed ASU GLEEders to encourage students to have something healthy to be passionate about, and to learn the importance of teamwork, self-expression, dedication, and “celebrate the arts like there is no tomorrow.”

During the spring 2011 semester, students representing four different schools perform with the show choir, which is set to perform in early May.
