Music (not) By Itself
While DePauw excels the education it provides in both of these schools, there is often a disconnection between students of the music school, and students of the liberal arts school. Are students of the music school disconnected from current events and issues, because they feel like political issues dont affect them? Or do they feel like their obligations to the music school precedes any other obligations to the way they formulate and therefore act upon their views of society? As a music student and liberal arts student, I find it important and necessary to attempt dialogue between the school of music and political issues that might be unseen or ignored.

As I right now I intend to pursue a liberal arts minor in Africana studies so I love that you brought this topic up! I think that the CLA and SoM should work to become more interconnected. Last semester I took Intro to Black Studies and so when all the controversy over Parade was happening, I had a space where I was able to speak as a musician but also as a student. I would love to continue to have more of those experiences and conversations like I did in Black Studies and I hope that they can happen inside the SoM as well.
