Two music faculty Dr. Barry Atticks and Dr. Jennifer Jester were each recipients of a $500 EPPIIC Micro-Grant to fund their proposed projects. Grants were awarded based on direct connection to the Millersville University EPPIIC values, enhancement of the MU experience, and creating a positive impact on the MU community.
Dr. Atticks proposal was titled “International Music Technology Experiences in Iceland”. Dr. Atticks will be working with organizers of a large international music festival in Reykjavik. The goal is to create a pathway for music production and live audio students to get international experience on their resumes by being involved in the production each fall. Dr. Atticks will also be meeting with faculty from the Iceland University of the Arts to build short term experiences working with technology in live performance.
