Congratulations to Entrepreneurship Center for Music Interim Director Marilyn Brock, who is representing the ECM this week at the Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers (GCEC) Global Summit in São Paulo, Brazil! We are so proud of our faculty!

This week, our Interim Director, Dr. Marilyn Brock, is presenting her research at the Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers Global Summit in Säo Paulo, Brazil! Check out this update from her:

Hello Music Buffs!

It has been a tremendous honor to speak about my work in Säo Paulo! I’ve also deeply appreciated the opportunity to connect with peers from around the world and learn from global perspectives on entrepreneurial education.

Furthermore, this conference has been a powerful reminder of just how innovative and transformational the ECM’s mission is. Conferences like the GCEC Global Summit serve as reminders that, locally and internationally, we are regarded as the gold standard for arts entrepreneurship education. It’s amazing to get to represent our center and share our continuing endeavors with other center leaders.

Looking forward to sharing more soon!

Warm wishes,
Dr. Brock
