Fisher-Burke Appointed Director of Advising for Shenandoah Conservatory

Shenandoah Conservatory is pleased to announce that Sarah Fisher-Burke has moved into a new role effective immediately; she is now director of advising for Shenandoah Conservatory. In this role she oversees undergraduate and graduate student advising, ensuring that students are provided quality academic support and awareness of relevant resources.
