If you’ve met him you more than likely remember him because Senior Theatre Honors major Thomas Buan is a man who doesn’t hold back in showing his passion and conviction for the things he cares about. “Thomas is loud and has a commanding presence, that much I may not need to tell you. But what everyone might not know about him is his sensitivity to … Continue reading Gustie of the Week – Thomas Buan
