Two Northwestern State University Theatre and Dance productions have been entered into the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival. Fourteen theatre and dance students have also been recognized for their work in fall productions.

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has announced the 2013 Louisiana Aviation Art Contest, sponsored by its Aviation Section. The theme for this year’s contest is “My Favorite Air Sport.”

Students between age 6 and 17 are encouraged to create artwork based on the use of this year’s theme in relation to the aviation world. The intent of the contest is to encourage young people throughout Louisiana to become more familiar with and participate in aeronautics, engineering, and science.
