Please join me in thanking Calvin Kellams, Kat Terrell, and Arden Gonzalez, our ‘25-‘26 SoA communications interns! This brilliant team kept us informed and connected to the inspiring number of concerts, exhibitions, performances, student opportunities, visiting artist talks, workshops, and news from across the SoA.
Graduating Senior Kat Terrell (Studio Art, Dance, Community Centered Design) created and published smart, sophisticated graphics for print and screens, including the brand identity for our Hidden Figures program and a significant portfolio of posters and graphics for events across the SoA. Thank you Kat!
Graduating Senior Calvin Kellams (Music Technology and Business) thoughtfully overhauled and published new content to our IG, keeping us up to speed while also connecting with community partners outside the SoA. Calvin produced high quality interviews of SoA students and faculty in association with their performances and research. Thank you Calvin!
Junior Arden Gonzalez (Theatre) channeled the many fast moving SoA tributaries into our weekly email updates – no small task every week! The SoA weekly scoop teems with student opportunities and SoA events, so be sure to check it out throughout the year. Arden is joining us again next year, offering continuity for SoA communications, so look out for great things in 26-27! Thank you Arden!
Be well and enjoy your summers!

Interested in music business, production, live sound, and/or technology?
Consider majoring in music with a concentration in technology and business. On the production side, you'll be able to have access to UVM's five professional recording studios on campus and get to collaborate with students and faculty on several recording projects throughout your undergraduate education.
On the business side, whether you're looking to get involved in music business or even if you're simply an artist looking to perform and record your own music, learning about the ins and outs of the industry is as important as musical talent when it comes to self advocacy, networking, and success.
