Graduates Begin Assistantships
Sam Nelson (Music, '19) began attending the Hartt School at the University of Hartford in Connecticut this fall. The school offered him a teaching assistantship, and he's pursuing a master's degree in music history scholarship and research.
"I’m incredibly excited for the adventure and owe so many thanks to the Cal Poly music department for preparing me for this journey!"
