The College Music Society promotes music teaching and learning, musical creativity and expression, research and dialogue, and diversity and interdisciplinary interaction. A consortium of college, conservatory, university, and independent musicians and scholars interested in all disciplines of music, the Society provides leadership and serves as an agent of change by addressing concerns facing music in higher education.
“We are CMS” is a theme often seen in my monthly messages. I am humbled and proud of contributions by so many members whose work sustains, invigorates, and challenges us through committee work, publications, conference participation, and governance. Recognition and praise are well due.
This month, as a new academic year begins its two-month rollout, I return to this theme, this time to feature some colleagues who are our unsung heroes: the CMS professional staff.
Summer 2018 will bring fresh faces and voices to CMS operations. The executive office will be welcoming an on-site intern to work in Missoula for the summer term and continuing remotely during the academic year, while five remote interns will be working through the summer and/or the academic year on specific CMS projects.
GenNext is a collaboration between The College Music Society and NAMM (the National Association of Music Merchants) that provides opportunities for college, conservatory, and university music faculty and students to learn about the nearly $100 billion music industry and to network with industry leaders.
