The newly expanded Imig Music Building strengthens the college Musicians’ Wellness Program by better supporting students in navigating the often complex and multifaceted path of being a musician.

“We have a strong foundation for DEI work and we’re seeing progress [...] but there more work—more positive disruption—ahead of us before we can claim ubiquitous inclusivity in our college culture, classrooms and curricula.”

“We have a real opportunity to use the American Music Research Center as a uniting force to bring together people of different cultures, ethnicities, perspectives and walks of life. I see this [DEI] work as not only educational, but as a strategy to improve the environment in which persons of color are pursuing their educations at �Ͼ�Ʒ��.”

"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 prepares our students for flexible, individualized careers."

"Working in development is a way for me to take my combined knowledge and experience to talk to others about why it important to fund the arts."

As part of the College of Music Summer Session, the �Ͼ�Ʒ�� Musicians’ Wellness Program (MWP) will sponsor the Alexander Technique Summer Course via Zoom, July 5-8, 9 a.m. to noon. An additional day, July 9, provides educators the option to receive graduate credit for the five-day course.

Among 30 distinguished academics, clinicians, consultants and authors, Jeffrey Nytch—director of the College of Music Entrepreneurship Center for Music and associate professor of composition—has joined the Yamaha Master Educator Collective newly-launched Music Business and Entrepreneurship group.
