Heidelberg University is a community, 一个家庭, comprised of as many personalities as there are people. With our “5 Things to Know” blog, you’ll get to know some of them. You’ll learn about their Heidelberg experience and other informative, fun – even quirky – anecdotes. Together, they tell the Heidelberg story.
During a college visit to Heidelberg, Timothy “Gavin” Hubbard took in a performance of “Avenue Q” and got a backstage look at what the 剧院 had to offer. He was hooked – despite a little family rivalry (his stepdad works in the 入学 Office at Wilmington College). Although he came in as a communication and computer science major, he switched to 剧院 and hasn’t looked back. Gavin has performed in seven plays and musicals and will have a role in this spring’s production of “Mamma Mia!” He’s worked back stage, too. “But I like being on stage more, especially in musicals,” he says. As a member of the Concert Choir and the Heidelberg Hei-Notes, he’s become quite a versatile performer. It’s been a great run, and it’s not over yet. “I had no idea that I’d still be having these awesome experiences as a senior, but I am.”
艺术管理
Gavin completed internships at Dayton’s Town Hall Theatre and at Newark’s Weathervane Playhouse, Ohio’s longest-running summer stock. Those diverse experiences in children’s 剧院, script writing and marketing, along with his job helping professor Stephen Svoboda market Heidelberg Theatre, are leading him on down unexpected career path in arts administration.
继续读研究生
要到达那里, Gavin has decided to stay at Heidelberg an extra year following graduation in May to pursue his graduate degree through the PlusOneAdvantage® 免费MBA课程.
查理曼的儿子
If there’s one musical Gavin would love to perform in, it would be (drumroll here) … “Pippin.” He enjoys character-driven shows like “Pippin” where the lead is at a crossroads, looking to find his life’s purpose.
你好,多莉
Gavin admits to an “unhealthy obsession” with country singer Dolly Parton as a teen. “I had all her records and I even created a little shrine with memorabilia,” he says. Ultimately, he did get to attend one of Dolly’s concerts.
Pass the pepper, please
A lot of people may find this strange, but Gavin loves cottage cheese and eats a serving every day for lunch. 大多数时候, just plain cottage cheese with pepper, but if he’s feeling adventurous, he may add pineapple.
