Award winning director of theatre, film, and television, Justin Martin reflects on his time as an international theatre arts student at the College of Liberal Arts
Come time to choose a major before enrolling in his freshman year at college, Justin Martin picked engineering, but he wouldn’t stay an engineer for very long. Martin switched soon after, enrolling in a theatre arts class at Charles Sturt University, Bathurst in New South Wales, Australia.
