Lipscomb University's George Shinn College of Entertainment and the Arts

Did we already share this news? Yes, but y’know what? We’re not done talking about it!

This year’s recipient of the Dean’s Award for Excellence in Teaching and Mentoring is Dr. Jerome Reed. Jerry is a living legend at Lipscomb University and he embodies the values of the CEA such that Dean Mike Fernandez said, “Jerry is the CEA,” upon giving Dr. Reed this year’s award. We’re all honored to work alongside him as we try to live up to the standard he sets.

Well done, Dr. Reed!

ONCE UPON A CEA CHRISTMAS 🎄🎅🏼
We are excited to announce this year’s CEA Christmas Party, Saturday December 2nd! Come dressed up for our Winter Wonderland theme, 7-9 PM in Shamblin Theater!

(And if you are going home for Thanksgiving and have formal clothes there, that would be the prime time to pack them back with you! 👗👔)

Y’all, our music concerts are next level. We’ve got concerts all week as our music students show off what they’ve been learning, and there is just no place like Music City for this kind of show.

They sound even better than this looks, and it looks amazing!
