Northern Michigan University director of theater William Digneit received the Dr. Dawn Gallup Honor Recipient Award on March 5 from the Michigan Council for Exceptional Children. Digneit was honored for his efforts to create sensory-friendly “Theatre for All” productions of shows produced by the NMU Theatre and Dance department.
“When I found out I was receiving this award, I was speechless,” said Digneit, who received the award during the council’s conference in Grand Rapids. “I feel humbled, truly honored and grateful that the efforts that the community, campus and students are doing is being recognized. And I’m just really proud that the work we’re doing is having a positive impact on so many people.
“While I feel lucky to be receiving an award, I feel like it takes a team to accomplish what we’ve done. I may be the one receiving the award, but I’ll be representing so many important players in the NMU Theatre and Dance department when I get it.”
The Michigan Council for Exceptional Children is an organization whose mission is to strengthen the field of education to impact success for individuals with exceptionalities by providing professional development, support and advocacy for children, youth, families, special and general educators.
