  Building a Vocology Research Program in a College of Fine Arts

  With Ingo Titze and Lynn Maxfield, Moderated by Matt Hoch and Reena Gupta 

  December 9, 9:00 PM Eastern

  In many institutions, cross-departmental and cross-college programs are encouraged. Vocology, a natural convergence of multiple disciplines, should be perfectly suited to meet these cross-disciplinary desires. In this talk, we will discuss our experience of integrating a vocology research and education program into the College of Fine Arts at the University of Utah. We will touch on topics ranging from navigating administrative realities to identifying and obtaining buy-in from stakeholders across the University.
