Steven Graver, a professor in CSU’s Department of Theatre and Dance, said Anderson quickly became an integral part of the program, teaching around 100 students through her various courses.

“Students took to her like a duck to water,” Graver said. “They really enjoyed her style and the way she ran the shop — always looking for ways to improve things, which she did very quickly and for the better. We were just really lucky to have her. It was just a surprise hire that we got somebody so perfect for the job.”
