I’ve found truly extraordinary opportunities to develop my intellectual and musical interests through my master’s program at IUP. The staff, faculty and the students at the Music Department, as well as the IUP community in general, have been incredibly generous in their appreciation of my musical interests and talent as well as my culture. I’m very thankful for the opportunity to have been an IUP student—it has been one of the best experiences of my life.
