Special Event Requirement
ALP Certificate students are required to attend 1 special event of their choosing each semester and submit a short reflection & feedback. These include live presentations or online offerings, such as podcasts or webinars, that are a minimum of 30 minutes long. Content should incorporate both music/arts topics AND at least one the following topics: careers, arts management, entrepreneurship, leadership, innovative ensembles, technology, wellness, community engagement, and/or DEI training. This event must be outside of an ALC course in which you’re enrolled.
Below is a listing of some potential resources you may use as a starting point. If you’re unsure of whether an event/video/podcast would qualify for fulfillment, please review this with the IML Assistant Director in advance. From time to time, we may also pass along opportunities for resources/events that qualify.
