Q&A: Haig Mardirosian, University of Tampa
Haig Mardirosian, dean of the College of Arts and Letters at the University of Tampa, oversees the departments of art; communications; English and writing; language and linguistics; music, philosophy and speech; and theatre and dance. An accomplished organist, Mardirosian left a top post at American University in Washington to get "closer to the arts'' and to be among the first to play Opus 89, a Dobson Pipe Organ being installed in the new Sykes Chapel and Center for Faith and Values at UT. Work on the Chapel started in 2008. It is scheduled for completion in 2010. Mardirosian sat down recently with 83 Degrees to talk about new opportunities in Tampa and his thoughts for the future of the arts.
