Teresa Gawrych is many things. She's an instructor at University of Alabama and the internship coordinator for Creative Media Majors. She's also a director. Lougan may have drooled a little bit as Teresa described her students' opportunities inside and outside of the classroom, especially with her awesome upcoming project with the Center for Public Television.
