Even if the person sitting next to me is completely different, we have to blend and it helps students realize, at our core we're the same.
- [Sam] Hi Talitha.
- Hi Sam.
Come on in.
One of the things that I really enjoy is watching the growth of students.
We have students that come from a myriad of different backgrounds.
You'll have a student who comes from a high school that's 92.5% the same race.
I had a student that came in and said "I never realized the lack of diversity in my hometown until I started having conversations with people who were different from me."
And so they're really excited to move forward and to bring what they've learned about D-E-I-B into their future classrooms.
They have these experiences to take with them and they will expand what their students are learning because of what they learned here.
(happy music) You gotta stick with your first instinct.
- [Sam] Yeah.
- One of the things I'm most excited about is when students explore their own identities and come to conclusions about who they want to be and what's important to them.
We really strive to make the College of Music a safe space to do that so that you can not only come in and make sure your academics are together, but also have a space to dream and to think, "This is the world I want.
This is how I want to affect the world through music."
And when students do that, they start to make a difference here and now, and I know that will carry forward.
(happy music)
