Enjoy great community
Enjoy an honest, creative and fun community that often includes late nights in the music library, songwriting sessions in the ensemble room and dinner at Dr. Jen's house.
I loved seeing the ways I could apply my time and talent to different skills, whether that was directing a live stream, practicing an instrument, managing an ensemble, picking up a camera, or learning the ins and outs of a soundboard. I walked across the stage and received my degrees knowing that I was flexible and multi-talented as a direct result of my studies at JBU.
