men’s quartet, women’s trio, solo, extemporaneous speaking, oral
interpretation and more. ßÏÀÖÔ° professors and local professions will

The event will not only provide a special place for GISA to host
its annual event, it will also give students an up close look at
performance on ßÏÀÖÔ°’s beautiful campus and the chance to network
with potential future professors.
“The President of the program Michael Drake, contacted us four
years ago about the possibility of hosting the event here and ßÏÀÖÔ°
was pleased to be able to accommodate them during our spring
break,” said Coordinator Doug Farwell, who added that approximately
1,000 student could compete this week. “The program consists of
events relating to programs housed within the College of the Arts,
so naturally this college stepped up to coordinate the events on
