About the Advisory Council
UConn's Music Student Advisory Council was founded in 2020 to provide undergraduate Music students the opportunity to voice their concerns or suggestions related to the Music Department. Members of the advisory council, who represent all degree paths within the department, serve as liaisons who help enhance the experiences of Music students.
Further goals of MSAC include:
-
Fostering a better connection between students and faculty
-
Preserve our comprehensive and close-knit musical learning community
-
Develop and execute projects and special initiatives that highlight or foster student success
-
Aiding in the improvement of curriculum for current and future students
