This Week at the College of Music: Student Edition - Oct. 28, 2021

"The way I see it, the College of Music is an innovation lab with endless potential for defining and redefining what it means to be an artist in a dynamic global environment. By developing an interdisciplinary micro credentialing program, my vision is to model an educational experience in which recognized mastery of varied competencies—from performance to wellness, digital media, business, engineering, copyright law, the sciences, you name it—prepares our students for flexible, individualized careers." Learn more in this month's Dean's Downbeat.
