Before we begin, we first want to acknowledge that the University of Minnesota Twin Cities is built within the traditional homelands of the Dakota people. It is important to acknowledge the peoples on whose land we live, learn, and work as we seek to improve and strengthen our relations with our tribal nations. We also acknowledge that words are not enough. We must ensure that our institution provides support, resources, and programs that increase access to all aspects of higher education for our American Indian students, staff, faculty, and community members.
The School of Music, a unit of the College of Liberal Arts, is a leading institution for the education of successful performers, composers, teachers, administrators, and scholars. The School interacts with the larger university and Twin Cities communities through classes, participatory performing opportunities, community engagement activities, and more than 400 public performances each year. The students and faculty of the School are grateful for the continuing interest and support of parents and friends.
The University of Minnesota is an equal opportunity educator and employer. This publication/material is available in alternative formats upon request. Direct questions to Jennifer Scholte, School of Music, 612-626-1094.
