Engagement and Outreach
The Importance of Engagement
We live in a time and society where performers, scholars, and creators in the professional worlds of music and dance must be active and articulate advocates for their art. Audiences and interest in the performing arts are cultivated and sustained by our being active members of the communities in which we live and work.
The School of Music and Dance faculty at San Diego State University is committed to producing graduates who are not only prepared for their professional ambitions, but who are also able to become leaders and advocates for the arts in society.
