Dr. Sharon Watkinson: A Niagara University Legend

In Announcements, by mfreedman, on April 3rd, 2018

If you walk into the theatre office wing on any given day, you may have the honor of seeing this incredible individual. At the end of the hallway, past posters of previous theatre shows signed by cast members, you will see a woman sitting with the brightest smile on her face. She is one of the most legendary individuals to ever grace Niagara University. Who is the person, you may ask? This individual is none other than Dr. Sharon Watkinson, professor and chair of the department of theatre and fine arts.

This is Dr. Watkinson’s 49th year teaching at Niagara University, and she absolutely loves it. Niagara University has taught her so much, not just in her undergraduate years of education, but throughout her numerous years of teaching as well.

“Niagara University has been a way of life for me,” she said. “It’s all I’ve ever known. Because I love what I do, I have never worked a day in my life.”
