Music students hang in the lounge

Just wanted to discuss the recent get together in the grad lounge last week. It was interesting. I feel the more outgoing and what appeared to be open students got the most out of it. There were some folks who really engaged fully with all the aspects of the gathering. They jammed, ate some of Mark’s child, and generally got to know people. I think this is the crowd we reach first and the one that will be the first part of a change. At the other extreme, there were people who definitely acted like “their space” was being invaded, although even they usually had some candy. ( Good idea Nikki! ) I think the gathering was successful, although I am reminded that the changes i attitudes will take time. It would be great for whoever is around from year to year to pass this along as a regularly scheduled event.
