⭐️ Alumni Spotlight: Patrick Dunn '08 ⭐️

Years before Patrick Dunn ’08 set foot on the UHart campus to attend The Hartt School, he was stepping into the spotlight as a child actor in New York City. At age 12, he was already performing at Madison Square Garden in A Christmas Carol, so his path in entertainment might seem inevitable. But success in the entertainment industry is never a given, and Dunn’s parents pushed him to attend college. His four-year degree helped propel Dunn’s career into a broader realm of possibilities … including, occasionally, becoming Elvis.

Persistence and passion are traits Dunn learned at UHart. He remembers a speaker on campus talking about how committed performers need to be to stay in the business even through rejections. The industry, the speaker said, was like a house – one door in, one out. But Dunn turned that idea on its head. His success, he says, “has come through creating as many doors as possible."
