Welcome back + Happy New Year!
The Entrepreneurship Center for Music (ECM) introduced a new face this academic year: While Professor of Composition and ECM Director Jeffrey Nytch is on sabbatical until fall 2024, Marilyn Brock fulfills the role of interim director. Brock says her goals for the ECM are to continue the momentum already in place and to use her connections to bring lessons about the broader music industry to our students. 鈥淚 love to provide opportunities for students to learn in the classroom, or in workshops, things that I had to learn the hard way. Another goal for me is to develop as much collaboration as possible鈥攚ithin the College of Music, with other parts of campus, or even with guests that we have coming in this year. I also want to ensure that diverse voices are represented and that I鈥檓 creating a space where regardless of identity or background, students feel safe and feel a sense of belonging within the ECM.鈥� Learn more,听including a preview of ECM offerings this spring.
