ARTS
HALL of FAME
The UMS-Wright Arts Hall of Fame consists of a prestigious group of alumni who made a significant contribution in an arts discipline while attending our school, who have produced meritorious work in the field beyond graduation, and who continue to give back to the community. On February 11, 2021 we inducted four deserving members: Franklin A. Danley ‘93, Ashley Lang Terrell ‘73, Jeana Conner-Mason ‘96, and Robert P. Miller ‘05. If you would like to make a nomination for 2021, please contact Caitlin Zoghby at czoghby@ums-wright.org. Jeana Conner-Mason '96 has many contributions to the Arts Department and her achievements as a student-leader have made Jeanna one of UMSWright’s very memorable and beloved graduates. As a student performer, Jeana was an omnipresent leader of the UMS-Wright Singers, Wright Images, and Adagio where her vocal skills helped raise the level of excellence of each group. Without a doubt, her portrayal of the Reverend Mother and her stirring performance of “Climb Every Mountain” in My Fair Lady has remained a joyous memory of all fans of the UMS-Wright Theatre Guild. Jeana was also an outstanding young scholar. She earned induction into the National Honor Society, and, as evidence of the side range of abilities she possesses, she received the Physics Award for excellence in this challenging discipline. As a result of her positive influence and outstanding character, she also earned an Alumni Spirit Award. She was also selected as a member of the Alabama All-State Chorus, and most impressively, she was also named the Outstanding Choral Student for the State of Alabama in 1996, her senior year.
