Congratulations to the Stage Combat class for successfully completing their SAFD Skills Proficiency Tests yesterday! We would like to give a special thank you to Dale A. Girard, who adjudicated the SPTs. We loved having him out in Oregon! Students this semester had the opportunity to earn certification in Single Sword and Unarmed combat after training under Professor Jonathan Cole for 30 hours in each style, and the SPTs were held as a public showcase in the Pelton Theatre
