When asked about the opportunity to serve on the newly formed MSAC, here is what they had to say:

“I was interested in becoming more involved in the School of Music community, having my own voice heard, and helping elevate the voices of the graduate music therapy students. I hope to bring my unique perspective, personality, and teamwork skills. My hope is that this group will elevate the voices of the student population, and foster more collaboration, innovation, and critical discussion.”
-Riley Gallivan

“I am honored and excited for this opportunity! I hope that I can be a voice for my fellow music students and assist the connection between administration and what actually occurs in the student body. This is what I hope for the group as well, and I look forward to representing my peers, working towards improvements in the school, and understanding the administrative side of SMTD.”
-Leah Dunphey

Please take a moment to congratulate your student representatives and thank them for being an exemplary example of Rams taking care of Rams!
