Getting a Grip on Student Involvement
admin November 15th, 2007
(Mark, Media Marketing Director) Frances will be the featured speaker for the 14th Annual Berklee College of Music Liberal Arts Symposium next April. Both faculty and students are gearing up to consider where art and action meet, in the words of Camille Colatosti, Chair of the Liberal Arts Department, “to use our creative energy to build a world that promotes ‘living democracy,’ that empowers individuals and emphasizes community.” In the process, Berklee is reaching out to the entire Boston educational community.
University outreach has been on my mind for some time, and this is a sign of much more to come. You‘ve read Frances’ posts about Suffolk and Worcester. She has also visited the University of Connecticut, Portland State, Denver and Washington in St. Louis. Just after Thanksgiving, she is going to Calgary and to Santa Clara. Frances has tremendous rapport with students, creating tremendous synergy.
I, however, have a slightly clandestine interest in university outreach (cue the lightning flash and thunder clap).
