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

Congratulations to the winners of our 2021-22 Bruce Ekstrand Memorial Graduate Student Performance Competition!

Kedrick Terrell Armstrong is one of the students benefiting from scholarship support as he works toward a master’s in orchestral conducting.

“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 ��ƷSM����ӰƬ.”

As part of the College of Music's long-running Faculty Tuesdays series, professional musicians, vocalists and ensembles in the college play concerts most Tuesdays during the fall and spring semesters, offering students and community members the opportunity to experience firsthand the renowned talent housed right here on campus. 

Professor Emeritus of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences J. McKim (Kim) Malville and former anthropology faculty member Nancy Malville reflect on their musical inspirations.

Becoming a music educator was always in the stars for Barbara (London) Pierpoint (BME ’72). 

Suzanne and David Hoover reflect on what music means to them and how the College of Music plays into their giving.

Mikhy Ritter, Becky Roser and Nancy Pierce see the new music building’s gender-neutral restroom as an important symbol of inclusivity and community at the College of Music.

“I am honored by this appointment beyond words,” says Davis.
