Dragon’s Den Players to Present The Laramie Project April 1, 2 & 3

For their spring play, the Dragon’s Den Players will perform “The Laramie Project,” a play that takes place in the aftermath of the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard. Shepard was a 21 year old student at the University of Wyoming when he was kidnapped, beaten, tied to a fence, and left to die by two men.

The play is based on transcripts from real interviews of people from Laramie, Wyoming after his murder. Some people were directly related to the case, while some are reactions from the town's citizens.

“The play is a documentary drama revolving around the 1998 brutal beating and murder of Matthew Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming student,” said Dr. Mary Grennen, Director. “The actors take on the roles of police of icers, detectives, judges, priests, university employees, family members, news reporters, and residents of Laramie, who were interviewed during the weeks following the crime. Their interviews are dramatized in a series of captivating moments on the stage as they tell and act out the stories of their involvement. The performance is highly recommended to those pursuing a career in criminal justice, as well as those who work or learn in a college setting.”

The play will be performed on April 1 and 2 at 8 p.m. and April 3 at 3 p.m. in Osceola Theatre.

Tickets can be bought at the door for $4.00.

The cast members are Tyler Bell, Karina Cloesmeyer, Trent Dundore, Nykita Emery, Jessica Hollan, Tiffany Ingle, Victor McCallister, Tylor Miller, Mike Monroe, Katlyn Nelson, Kerry Van Der Veller, Emma Wegner, Scott Williams, Poetessa Worley-Harris. They will each be portraying multiple characters.

FINANCIAL HOLDS Explained...

If you have a balance over $1000 and/or are not enrolled and up to date on a payment plan then you are currently on inancial hold.

You cannot register until the inancial hold is resolved. There are many reasons that a student may end up on hold and there are options that may get you off of hold but time is running out, check out the steps to get off inancial hold below.

Make sure that you are not on hold just because there are Financial Aid documents missing. Go to www. inaid.tif in.edu and log in. If you forgot your pin (password), choose “forgot pin” and reset it. Once logged in choose the accept awards tab. All awards should be accepted or declined. After you’ve made sure that all awards are accepted, make sure that all documents have been received by choosing the “required documents tab”. If anything says “not received” you must complete that document.

Your parent may need to apply for a parent plus loan.

If a parent applies for and is denied a parent plus loan, the student may qualify for up to an additional $4000 as a freshman or sophomore and an additional $5000 as a junior or senior in regular federal unsubsidized loan in the student’s name only. If your parent is approved, you can choose to accept or decline the loan. This is done at www.studentloans.gov

You may need to apply for a private alternative loan.

Private alternative loans are offered through various inancial institutions. Most students will need a credit worthy co-signor to qualify but the co-signor does not need to be a parent. So, if your parent does not qualify you can seek a different cosignor. You can check with any bank to see if they offer an alternative student loan or you can compare and apply for loans at https:// choice.fastproducts.org/ FastChoice/ home/312100/1

You can set up a payment plan. If you wanted to pay monthly on your balance without being placed on

hold, you can enroll under the inance tab in selfservice or visit Rebecca Brose in Seitz Hall to make a payment. If the monthly payments would not cover the entire balance you will not be removed from hold.

You can visit the Financial Aid Of ice. If you need help with completing any documents or with applying for loans you can stop by the inancial aid of ice, located in Seitz Hall. Further, if you have tried all of the options above and have not been successful in getting off of inancial hold please stop by the inancial aid of ice.

Each year you can come to the inancial aid of ice after you have submitted a FAFSA to try to make a plan to avoid being on hold the next year. Also, always apply for scholarships which can be found at our Facebook page, www.facebook/ TU inancialaid , by checking a scholarship search site such as http:// www.fastweb.com/, and by just searching for your city or county for scholarships online! We look forward to seeing you get off of hold soon!
