Th en my aunt died during my cousin’s fi rst year at college. Watching her cope with grief opened my eyes to the need for assistance from her university family. Th rough my research studies at UNT, I uncovered the value of social support for college students experiencing death and discovered how to improve their emotional health. My faculty mentor, Amy Murrell, was instrumental in teaching me research methodology and providing an invaluable opportunity to play a signifi cant role in research as an undergraduate. Th at hands-on experience is why I chose UNT and why I want to pursue a doctoral degree. I want to help others fi nd hope.

  • 1St Time Charm! Master’S Student Jeremy Wilson Wins a Position in the Vienna Philharmonic Fortepiano
    Fall 2008 1st Time Charm! Master’s Student Jeremy Wilson Wins a Position in the Vienna Philharmonic Fortepiano Exciting Acquisition— a First for the College of Music rriving in spring 2007 from the McNulty workshop in the Czech Republic, this gorgeous fortepiano, an 1805 Walter und Sohn copy, Ahas already become an important educational and performance tool within the College of Music. Many, many thanks are due to Professor Emeritus Michael Collins, philanthropist Paul Voertman and the National Endowment for the Arts for their generosity that enabled us to purchase this instrument. One of its most interesting uses has been the recording project planned in conjunction with an upcoming book by UNT musicology alumnus James “Chip” Parsons, Professor of Music at Missouri State University and a former student of Professor Collins. A-R Editions will publish Dr. Parsons’ book on early alternate settings of Schiller’s poem “An die Freude” (heard in the famous last movement of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony). The accompanying CD, coordinated by UNT faculty Elvia Puccinelli, will include selections based on the facsimile scores included in the book. (For more about the fortepiano and its impact, go to page 17.)
