GRAMMY collaboration celebrated with music n
Friday event begins Oregon State’s new educational affiliation with LA museum By Tori Hittner
THE DAILY BAROMETER
It could have been a religious revival: crowd on its feet, hands clapping raucously in unison, choir boisterously singing in call and repeat. Though the atmosphere was certainly impassioned and joyous enough to take place in a church, participants gathered Friday afternoon in the Memorial Union lounge for a different reason: to celebrate Oregon State University’s recent partnership with the Los Angeles GRAMMY Museum. “This partnership is mutually beneficial,” said Bob Santelli, executive director of the GRAMMY Museum. “It is going to be a fabulous, hopefully well-trafficked, two-way street, and it’s going to be something that I think will endure and make Oregon State University what I have always thought it has been: a great institution with incredible opportunities in the field of art.” Santelli’s daughter, an OSU alumna herself, was also in attendance. The GRAMMY Museum, open since 2008, is an institution located in the heart of Los Angeles dedicated to preserving the legacies and stories of 166 different kinds of music. Oregon State’s recent partnership makes it one of only two of the museum’s current educational affiliates. The relationship offers students and faculty research programs, internship opportunities and professional development seminars. “The GRAMMY Museum is all about education,” Santelli said. “The idea is to create a large network of universities and cultural institutions that will allow interaction and relationships to build.” OSU President Ed Ray highlighted several of the OSU music department’s recent accomplishments and developments, including the amassment of $6 million in donations. “In our own way at Oregon State, in elevating our game and supporting the arts,” Ray said, “we’re also interested in perpetuating and saving American music alongside the GRAMMY Museum.” OSU alumnus and Broadway talent Roosevelt Credit actively demonstrated the music department’s promise and value. Alongside current OSU choir members, Credit treated the audience to his smooth vocal talents and vibrant personality. By the final number, most members of the audience were on their feet, singing and clapping along. Credit’s accomplishments include several performances on Broadway, as well as recent work on the awardwinning film, “12 Years a Slave.” “Here at Oregon State, the arts See GRAMMY | page 4

Oregon State University’s nationally recognized Holocaust Memorial Week offers unique learning opportunities from scholars, artists, survivors By Tori Hittner THE DAILY BAROMETER
Monday marks the beginning of OSU’s nationally lauded Holocaust Memorial Week, a long-standing and proud campus tradition since 1987. Organized and facilitated by the Holocaust Memorial Week committee, the week-long event offers students and community members the chance to hear from
qualified scholars and even a Holocaust survivor herself. “Our program has always been particularly geared toward the Holocaust and exploring it from a number of angles,” said committee chair Paul Kopperman. “We’re always doing new stuff; the approach tends to be very different (each year).” Kopperman has served on the committee since its creation 17 years ago and sat as chair since 1994. He is also a professor in the school of history, philosophy and religion. Among the 2014 program’s most anticipated events is a talk by Laureen Nussbaum, a childhood friend of Anne Frank’s and one See HOLOCAUST | page 4
