Mullenix has served as CCA dean since July 1, 2014. She served as interim dean beginning in 2013, having joined Miami in 2006 as chair and professor of theatre and artistic director/producer of Miami University Theatre.

Prior to teaching at Miami, Mullenix served at Illinois State University as associate professor of theatre and in leadership roles including associate chair of theatre, director of graduate studies and associate dean of ISU’s College of Fine Arts.

“I am thrilled to be elected to the CSO Board of Directors for reasons that are both personal and professional,” said Mullenix. “I grew up in Cincinnati and remember going to the symphony with my parents on winter nights and marveling at the warmth and majesty of Music Hall. I can think of no better way to expand the College’s network with the professional art world then through work with one of the most prestigious orchestras in the world.”

The CCA has also established its first national advisory board, including 22 alumni and friends with wide-ranging professional arts experience from across the U.S. Members were invited to campus this spring.
