We are hosting a meeting next Wednesday! Olivia Dallape, Bryan Carrera, Thomas Knowles, Erin Naclerio, Brian Oliveira will be presenting on their study abroad experiences. They are all masters music education students who went to either Cape Town or London this past fall. They'll be going over the application process, the internships, classes, and the fun experiences they had while abroad. They'll also be able to answer any questions you have about the programs. Hope to see you there.

In addition to this meeting, the CMEA Conference is just around the corner. This is a great opportunity to network and to learn so much about the field of music education. It is hosted March 30-April 1st at the Connecticut Convention Center.
More information can be found on the CMEA website, where you can view the schedule and purchase a ticket. Student tickets are free with an active NAfME membership. If you don't have a current NAFME membership, it will cost $40.

We hope to see you at these events! If you have any remaining questions don't hesitate to reach out.

A big thanks to all who came to our "How to get into Neag" meeting last night! If you were not able to attend, or if you have any residual questions, feel free to DM this account in order to receive resources from last night. In general, also feel free to reach out to any of our board members - we are more than happy to help with your application process.

With this meeting done, we are nearing the end of our semester so we will not be hosting more meetings for the remainder of the fall semester. That being said - we are looking forward to next semester, and the future of our club. In an effort to generate more inclusive and popular meetings, we have created a poll at the link in our bio for you to offer suggestions, and for you to openly communicate to us as a board. We are excited to offer meetings that are community-generated ideas, in order to cater to our audience more.

Have a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving break!

We also highly encourage students who have already gotten into Neag to join us for the meeting. Your different perspectives can greatly benefit students looking to get into the school. Hope to see you there!
