Title IX Coordinator and Director, Human Resources and Equal Opportunity Musicians to Engage a Local and Global Community Throug Title IX Coordinator and Director, Human Resources and Equal Opportunity The Curtis Institute of Music, a private school dedicated to the training and education of exceptionally gifted young musicians, invites nominations and applications for the position of Title IX Coordinator and Director, Human Resources and Equal Opportunity. The Curtis Institute seeks a strategic thinker and a relationship-driven community member who fosters productive collaborations, is trustworthy and approachable, and strives to serve as a valued and reliable resource to students, faculty, staff, and the administration. Serving as a newly added member of the President’s cabinet, the Director will oversee Curtis’s Title IX function and work in partnership with the Senior Associate Dean and Special Advisor to the President for Strategic Engagement, and members of the Ombuds Office to develop institutional equity initiatives across the campus. Reporting to the Senior Vice President of Administration, with a dotted line to the President & CEO, the Director will lead the division of Title IX, human resources, and equal opportunity services, and participate in a newly formed task force designed to support the well-being of students, staff, alumni, and faculty. The position will also have an open and confidential line to the Board of Trustees. This critical hire will be well-positioned to help Curtis remain true to its core mission: to educate and train exceptionally gifted young musicians to engage a local and global community through the highest level of artistry. 1 The Director will bring proficiency in both the current and emerging regulatory environments, as well as a deep understanding of national issues and trends as they relate specifically to Title IX and equal opportunity regulations. In addition to bringing procedural acumen on Title IX requirements and equal opportunity, this individual will bring strategic human resources experience and lead a team in implementing best practices for this area. The new Director will possess a demonstrated track record of developing and supporting a diverse, high-performing team, as well as working effectively across constituencies of students, faculty, staff, and senior leadership. Curtis seeks a highly relational leader with expertise in organization and analysis, communication, and collaboration. As the Title IX Coordinator, the Director will provide leadership and guidance in support of Curtis’s goal of creating and maintaining an academic and work environment where students, alumni, faculty, and staff can thrive free from gender-based discrimination, harassment, and violence. The Director is responsible for: the oversight of Curtis’s compliance efforts regarding Title IX, equal opportunity, and affirmative action; design and delivery of informative compliance materials; providing training programs; development, implementation, and monitoring of appropriate policies and procedures; and the prompt investigation and resolution of complaints. As the Director of Human Resources, the incumbent is responsible for the ongoing planning, designing, developing, and evaluation of human resource-related initiatives to support Curtis’s strategic goals. The Curtis Institute of Music: An Overview With an acceptance rate of only 4 percent, Curtis is consistently ranked among the most selective college-level institutions in the country. The school aims to inspire a global music community with a passion for making music, a keen insight into its power, and an enthusiasm for sharing that music with others. Curtis was established in 1924 by Mary Louise Curtis Bok, who named the school in honor of her father, Cyrus Curtis, a notable American publisher. Located in Philadelphia, a city rich in history and home to many leading arts and cultural institutions, the Curtis campus reflects the rich heritage of the school and the many musicians who have trained at the school. Mrs. Bok initially purchased three mansions on Philadelphia's celebrated Rittenhouse Square, which she then adjoined and renovated. In 2011, Curtis opened Lenfest Hall, which 2 included the school’s first student dormitory and dining center, as well as additional state-of-the- art rehearsal and performance facilities. Admission: Curtis’s high admissions standards ensure that students will rehearse and perform alongside musical peers whose talents will challenge and inspire them. The school limits enrollment to about 175 students, accepting just enough students to maintain a full symphony orchestra and an opera program, plus select programs in piano, guitar, composition, conducting, and organ, as well as community artist fellows and a string quartet in residence. By focusing its resources on this small, select group, Curtis ensures that each student receives an education of unparalleled quality, distinguished by a “learn by doing” philosophy and personalized attention from a faculty that includes a high proportion of actively performing musicians. Students receive comprehensive musical training enriched by liberal arts curricula. Students may pursue a Diploma or a Bachelor of Music degree. Vocal students may also pursue a Master of Music degree or a Professional Studies Certificate. Students: Students at Curtis enjoy a wealth of opportunities to perform, listen, and learn among equally talented peers. International students make up 40% of the multicultural student body, and there is no minimum or maximum age to audition. In its unique nurturing environment, the school’s superb faculty encourages students at every step to grow as artists and as members of the Curtis community. Curtis students hone their craft through more than 200 orchestra, opera, and solo and chamber music offerings each year and programs that bring arts access and education to the community. This real-world training allows these extraordinary young musicians to join the front ranks of performers, composers, conductors, and musical leaders, making a profound impact on music onstage and in their communities. Since all Curtis students receive merit-based, full-tuition scholarships, talent and artistic promise are the only considerations for admission. Generous financial aid likewise ensures that no student accepted to Curtis will be unable to attend because of financial need. Faculty: Faculty members at Curtis include a high proportion of eminent performing musicians who connect students to life as successful professional musicians today. Their unmatched musical lineage, in turn, links students to the classical masters. Curtis has nearly 115 faculty that includes highly credentialed instructors in musical studies, liberal arts, and career studies. Curtis frequently hosts world-renowned artists to work with its students in masterclasses, chamber music coaching, and residencies; in orchestra reading sessions; in the classroom; and in performances by the Curtis Symphony Orchestra and Curtis Opera Theatre. Curtis’s reputation for excellence attracts an unparalleled array of visiting artists. Osmo Vänskä, Michael Tilson Thomas, Vladimir Jurowski, Hilary Hahn (’99), Richard Goode (’64), Antoine Tamestit, Gary Hoffman, Eighth Blackbird, and the JACK Quartet are just a few of the master musicians who have worked with Curtis students recently. Frequent master classes and residencies give students in all disciplines exposure to today’s leading musical artists, some of whom also join the students on stage in concerts and recitals. 3 Alumni: Since its opening, Curtis graduates have won Pulitzer Prizes, Guggenheim Fellowships, and Avery Fisher Awards. A Curtis alumnus can be found in every major American orchestra. Performances: Performances at Curtis grow from the school’s “learn by doing” philosophy. Students enjoy endless opportunities to perform, with more than 200public performances each year, including orchestra concerts, opera productions, and solo and chamber music recitals. • The Student Recital Series offers more than 100 free public performances each season. Students often perform with distinguished faculty, alumni, and guest artists. • Praised by the New York Times for its “otherworldly ensemble and professional level of sophistication,” the Curtis Symphony Orchestra performs a three-concert season in Verizon Hall at Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. • The Curtis Opera Theatre presents several staged performances and concert productions annually in various Philadelphia venues. All of the department’s twenty-five voice and opera students are cast repeatedly each season, providing them a rare level of performance experience. Performances take place at the Perelman Theater at Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. • Curtis On Tour brings the extraordinary artistry of the world-renowned Curtis Institute of Music to national and international audiences, with students performing alongside celebrated Curtis alumni and faculty. • Expanding upon the beloved Alumni Recital Series, the school introduced a new series, Curtis Presents. It showcases faculty, students, and alumni in specially curated recitals highlighting Curtis’s unique performance culture. Proceeds from the concerts directly benefit current Curtis students. 4 • Family concerts at Curtis are a fun introduction to classical music for children ages five to twelve. Through performance and audience interaction, Curtis students illustrate the essential elements of music and share their experiences as musicians. Diversity and Inclusion: Diversity, equity, and inclusion are integral to a thriving global artistic community.

  • Laudatio for the Laurea Doctor of Laws Honoris Causa of Derek C. Bok from Complutense University
    Laudatio for the Laurea Doctor of Laws Honoris Causa of Derek C. Bok from Complutense University The Complutense University is very pleased to award Derek Curtis Bok, of Harvard University, the degree of Doctor honoris causa. This is the highest honor we are able to confer. During his career at Harvard, Derek Bok served as Dean of the Law School (1968-1971), as President (1971-1991), and again as interim President (2006- 2007). He is the 300th Anniversary University Research Professor and faculty chair of the Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations. The author of seven books and numerous essays on higher education, Derek has also written widely on government and law. Today, we honor Derek, not for any one specific post he has held, but for his stewardship of our institutions of higher learning. Derek has helped steward the academy through some of the most turbulent decades in its history. And he continues to influence our institutions today. While we could name many achievements, if we enumerated them all, the list would simply be overwhelming. Today, we will focus on three areas in particular: curricular reform, teaching and learning, and internationalization spheres of education in which Derek has inspired universities to think and to function differently. These three areas are also particularly important to the Complutense University. In recent years, higher education has come under increasing scrutiny. As higher education expands, it is often a victim of its own success. Rising costs are especially troubling for politicians and publics alike. But as Derek has said, "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance." As a leader in higher education, Derek’s fore-sight has been essential in giving meaning to the term “stewardship”, which he defined as: "the responsible management of something entrusted to one's care." His careful balance of means and ends has helped launch some of the most promising innovations in higher learning.

  • Commager, Carr, Chafee, Gellhorn, Bok, Baxter: Civil Liberties Under
    THE YALE LAW JOURNAL [Vol. 61 of securities is entitled to have. As previously indicated, the second specific suggestion has been incorporated in the definition of "public offering" at least since 1935. Undoubtedly, direct placement needs more research and more first-hand investigation. Professor Corey has been a pioneer, setting up targets for cri- ticism, and establishing landmarks for others to embellish. MYER FELDMANt CIVIL LIBERTIES UNDER ATTACK. By Henry Steele Commager, Robert K. Carr, Zechariah Chafee Jr., Walter Gellhorn, Curtis Bok, and James P. Baxter III. Edited by Clair Wilcox. William J. Cooper Foundation Lectures, Swarthmore College. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1951. Pp. 155. $3.50. PROFESSOR Paul Freund of the Harvard Law School once remarked that the charge against the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee (placed on the Attorney General's list of subversive organizations) seemed to be that they were "prematurely anti-fascist." In the same vein, many books in recent years which have protested against infringements upon civil liberties have seemed to lack popular response because they were "premature" protests--protests against restrictions which had not percolated down far enough into the national system to cause widespread concern. With the publication of Alan Barth's The Loyalty of Free Men, Walter Gellhorn's Security, Loyalty and Science, and now, six lectures gathered in Civil Liberties Under Attack, the time seems to have become "mature" for re-examining our civil freedoms, 1951 edition. The issuance of this book is reminiscent of May, 1920, in the period of the notorious Palmer Raids and the anti-radical terror which followed World War One.

  • The Americanization of Edward Bok by Edward William Bok (1863-1930)
    The Americanization of Edward Bok by Edward William Bok (1863-1930) The Americanization of Edward Bok by Edward William Bok (1863-1930) The Americanization of Edward Bok The Autobiography of a Dutch Boy Fifty Years After by Edward William Bok (1863-1930) To the American woman I owe much, but to two women I owe more, My mother and my wife. And to them I dedicate this account of the boy to whom one gave birth and brought to manhood and the other blessed with all a home and family may mean. An Explanation This book was to have been written in 1914, when I foresaw some leisure to write it, for I then intended to retire from active editorship. But the war came, an entirely new set of duties commanded, and the project was laid aside. page 1 / 493 Its title and the form, however, were then chosen. By the form I refer particularly to the use of the third person. I had always felt the most effective method of writing an autobiography, for the sake of a better perspective, was mentally to separate the writer from his subject by this device. Moreover, this method came to me very naturally in dealing with the Edward Bok, editor and publicist, whom I have tried to describe in this book, because, in many respects, he has had and has been a personality apart from my private self. I have again and again found myself watching with intense amusement and interest the Edward Bok of this book at work. I have, in turn, applauded him and criticised him, as I do in this book.

  • Reflections of Samuel Barber at Curtis and Beyond
    Reflections of Samuel Barber at Curtis and beyond Barber in his student days, ca. 1932 ‘I WAS MEANT TO BE PHOTO: CURTIS ARCHIVES A COMPOSER, AND WILL BE I’M SURE.’ BY DR. BARBARA B. HEYMAN In celebration of the centenary of composer and alumnus Samuel Barber, musicologist and Barber biographer Dr. Barbara B. Heyman shares with Overtones reflections of his Curtis days and its influence on his career. She draws on his letters, his diaries, and interviews with artists for whom he wrote music. “Many of his Curtis classmates,” she writes, “generously shared with me treasured memories, manuscripts of early works that they performed, and letters that they saved because they just ‘knew he was going to be famous.’” Samuel Osmond Barber II was born on March 9, 1910, in West Chester, Pennsylvania. His father, Roy Barber, was a physician; his mother, Marguerite (“Daisy”), was an amateur pianist. Early on, Sam Barber expressed his creativity primarily through song. In his words, “writing songs just seemed a natural thing to do.” And the one thing he knew for certain was that he wanted to be a composer, an ambition he declared in a now-infamous letter he wrote at eight: Dear Mother: I have written this to tell you my worrying secret. Now don’t cry when you read it because it is neither yours nor my fault. I suppose I will have to tell you now without any nonsense. To begin with, I was not meant to be an athlet [sic]. I was meant to be a composer, and will be I’m sure.

  • “The Jazz Problem”: How U.S. Composers Grappled with the Sounds of Blackness, 1917—1925 Stephanie Doktor Cumming, Georgia
    “The Jazz Problem”: How U.S. Composers Grappled with the Sounds of Blackness, 1917—1925 Stephanie Doktor Cumming, Georgia Bachelor of Arts, Vocal Performance, University of North Georgia, 2003 Master of Arts, Musicology, University of Georgia, 2008 Master’s Certificate, Women’s Studies, University of Georgia, 2008 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Virginia December, 2016 iv © Copyright by Stephanie DeLane Doktor All Rights Reserved December 2016 v For Hillary Clinton and Terry Allen, who both lost the race but the fight still rages on vi ABSTRACT My dissertation tracks the development of jazz-based classical music from 1917, when jazz began to circulate as a term, to 1925, when U.S. modernism was in full swing and jazz had become synonymous with America. I examine the music of four composers who used black popular music regularly: Edmund Jenkins, John Powell, William Grant Still, and Georgia Antheil. For each composer, whose collections I consulted, I analyze at least one of their jazz-based compositions, consider its reception, and put it in dialogue with writings about U.S. concert music after World War I. Taken together, these compositions contributed to what I call the Symphonic Jazz Era, and this music was integral to the formation of American modernism. I examine how these four composers grappled with the sounds of blackness during this time period, and I use “the Jazz Problem” as an analytic to do so. This phrase began to circulate in periodicals around 1923, and it captured anxieties about both the rise of mass entertainment and its rootedness in black cultural sounds in the Jim Crow era.
