In our newly expanded Imig Music Building, Associate Professor of Collaborative Piano Alexandra Nguyen and Dean John Davis converse.  

"As Thanksgiving approaches, we have so much to be grateful for— and progress toward developing universal musicians through enhanced education. But without a deeply embedded culture of belonging that encourages dialogue and reflective listening, and that inspires our students, faculty, staff and greater community beyond our comfort zones, there's little hope of sustaining our momentum toward shaping the future of artistry." Learn about Dean John Davis' vision for innovation + inclusivity in this month's Dean's Downbeat.
