Weiner, Madsen Are Villella Fellows

Melissa Weiner '95 and Carrie Madsen '99 have won Edward Villella Fellowships for internships with the Miami City Ballet, of which Villella is founder and artistic director.

Villella himself made the selection during his visit to Union last weekend. He also led a lecture-performance with members of the Miami City Ballet.

Weiner, who is pursuing her masters in teaching with the College, will take her internship this year, serving in various areas of the company's operation, and dancing with a school that the ballet runs.

Madsen, a frequent particpant in a number of the College's dance programs, was selected for next year's internship.
