I've been enjoying the distinct pleasure of meeting several of the students who will make up the first BA in Popular Music class at in-person registrations over the last two months. Others have been communicating with me via email. With just one month to go before classes begin the electricity is beginning to buzz.
New students, new courses, and an exciting new program - it gets no better than this!
