A College of Music was established in 1888, just two years after the university\u2019s founding.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, students and faculty have been and are prominent regionally and nationally as singers, instrumentalists and teachers.<\/p>\n<p>To recognize the significant contributions these people have made to the campus, community and culture, Kansas Wesleyan is establishing a KWU Music Hall of Fame, to be inaugurated at Homecoming in October.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe arts are a critical part of the Kansas Wesleyan experience,\u201d said Ken Oliver, executive vice president for advancement and university operations. \u201cAs we move into a new era of Coyote fine arts, it\u2019s fitting that we recognize the work and accomplishments of those who have come before. It\u2019s because of them that we have the ability to go forward, to educate at new levels and enhance the entirety of our university. We look forward to announcing the first set of inductees in the coming weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first inductees will be honored at Homecoming 2024 on Oct. 19 during the \u2018Come Home\u2019 concert, the first event in the newly renovated Sams Chapel. Their names will be displayed in a room located in Bieber Hall, the new entrance and lobby for Sams Chapel at the south side of Pioneer Hall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKansas Wesleyan has always been blessed with dedicated, talented and selfless individuals who have fostered the university\u2019s mission, with an eye toward nurturing the whole person \u2014 body, mind, and spirit. The Music Department is no exception. We are excited to launch the KWU Music Hall of Fame in recognition of those individuals,\u201d said Michelle Dolan G\u201924, executive director of music.<\/p>\n<p>The first round of inductees will be announced early this fall.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Release by Jean Kozubowski<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":34921,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[177,176],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academics","category-fine-arts"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
