VALUE

What do I value at Baldwin-Wallace College? Many things, but mostly our students. Any college community is unique in its own particular combination of faculty, students, and staff; but it is the students that are ever-changing, give energy to the campus, and a reason for faculty to teach.


Take at a look at these two fine Conservatory students, Mike and Kristen. At this moment they are showing the campus to rising seniors and their families as part of our final summer cook-out. Mike is a music education and trumpet performance major from North Carolina. Kristen is a percussion performance major from Binghamton, NY; and is approaching her final year at B-W. They have worked tirelessly greeting admission guests this summer and getting us ready for the coming year. Our aquarium has become a key feature of our office (right down to naming the fish); and they are also creating play lists and facebook type pages for all our student assistants. Thanks Mike and Kristen, for all you have done to enrich our office!

WHAT'S NEW

The College has incorporated the use of vans for part of our campus tour. You get to see our quaint Berea downtown area and a glimpse of our beautiful Cleveland Metroparks system, as well as our diverse campus.

WHAT'S FUN

Several of those valued students came to my house for dinner on Tuesday and to play"Pit". Everyone is taking advantage of end-of-summer opportunities like the Cleveland Orchestra at Blossom Music Center, the Cedar Point amusement park, or the show Pippin at Cain Park.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

My daughter will be applying to the musical theatre program at Baldwin-Wallace this Fall. My question to you is whether you want the DVD listed in the Common Application Supplement?

This answer has three parts:

  • All music theatre students must audition on campus


  • We don't require a pre-screening DVD for voice or music theatre


  • Only instrumentalists may submit a DVD in lieu of a live audition

I wish you fun in your own favorite activities to make the end of summer special for you.

A pal at the Conservatory, Anita
