Equity, Opportunity, and Hello

Over the years, CMS has played a significant role in the lives of those engaged in the pursuit of music both in and beyond the academy. I have long appreciated the capacity of our CMS membership to envision the “uninstallation” of disciplinary silos and to engage with colleagues on a range of topics that inform our teaching and fuel our interests as true life-long learners in music. It is in that spirit that we anticipate Carolina/ CMS Summit 2.0 later this month. As we welcome the new year and contemplate this year’s common topic of “Equity and Opportunity,” I think of how closely related it is to “Diversity and Inclusion,” our 2017/18 common topic championed by President Keith Ward with vision and an insistence that inspires.
