ACDA Eastern Division College and University The collegiate community for the Eastern Division will provide opportunities for university directors to discuss important issues related to the profession. As your College & University Repertoire and Standards Chair, I have reflected upon questions that have been posed to me or concerns that I have discussed with several of you. I believe that some group networking can take place via this community discussion group. Topics may include: amount of rehearsal time, load equivalents for choirs, grading of choral singers, tenure & promotion, managing a budget in this current economic climate, retrenchment, vocal staff in relation to the number of voice students or number in the total music program. Feel free to add a topic of your concern. I hope you will join the discussion!
