Meet JIST’s newest board member Stella Garibaldi! Stella is a freshman in the Department of Theatre and was recently featured in KU Theatre’s Fall 2017 production of “She Kills Monsters” as the devilish cheerleader Gabbi. We look forward to working with her on our upcoming projects this semester and everything that’s in store for the future of JIST. Be sure to be on the look out soon for future JIST events coming to a campus near you!
