Michael Fowlin Sends Important Message to Students

Dr. Michael Fowlin (a.k.a. Mykee) performed his one-man show on diversity, discrimination, personal identity and tolerance as part of Blair’s Enrichment Day on January 9, 2004.

Mykee silenced the audience with his portrayal of several characters, all of whom touched on issues relevant to our student body. His talented performance received a standing ovation, and many students took the time to meet Mykee following the presentation. Follow-up conversations have taken place throughout campus since last Friday, and this community had undoubtedly been affected by Mykee’s message about inclusion and living our lives with the goal of seeing the good in others.

Mykee has been an actor since the age of 11. He received his BA in psychology from Evangel University in Springfield, Missouri, where he also spent much of his time in the speech and drama department. In the spring of 2001, he received his doctoral degree in clinical psychology from Rutgers. He plans to combine both his interests into a profession that will be geared toward the adolescent population. He has worked extensively with teenagers across the United States. His work has included peer mediation, diversity workshops, violence prevention and gender sensitivity training. He transcends “normal” groupings and stereotypes, and lives out his mission of unity. He is an intense and dynamic young man who has changed and will continue to change the lives of teens. He currently resides in Morristown, New Jersey.
