Mayman said she hopes to one day see the arts experienced in a hands-on environment inside the classroom, providing students with alternative ways of thinking and achieving intellectual breakthroughs.
"Our minds and bodies aren't separate--they're connected," she said. "Why can't we use education to learn how to use both? I'd like to see the Office of the Arts helping make more of that connection. There are structured ways that the Office of the Arts can employ to help those discoveries. Arts is about making connections that we don't usually make."
Mayman said she hopes to continue her involvement in the arts and the university community, although to a lesser degree, as the president of the Signet Associates, which is the graduate board of the Signet Society.
"It's too big a party to go home completely," she said.
