CALLING ALL MUSIC STUDENTS! 📣 We hid 13 spooky stickers 👻 throughout the Music Basement (NOT counting the ones like these on the classrooms windows).

Happy hunting…and may the odds be ever in your favor! 🎃

As this semester comes to a close, we want to take a moment to honor our beloved Professor of Music Theory, Dr. Robert Reno, who is retiring after 22 years of faithful teaching, leadership, spiritual mentorship, and music-making.

In this video, Dr. Reno reflects on his journey to becoming a music professor and shares a little of the story behind his years in music and education. We are deeply grateful for the lasting impact he has had on our students, department, and community.

Thank you, Dr. Reno! 💐
