“I am delighted to welcome professors Chen, Coulson and Green-Flint to these new and revised leadership roles and look forward to working with each of them to further our conservatory work,” said Interim Dean, Charlotte A. & Verne E. Collins Endowed Professorship and Professor of Music (Music Education) Jeffrey Marlatt, Ph.D. “Dr. Chen’s passion for promoting academic success supports the intersection of work between faculty and students; Dr. Coulson’s innovative approach to curricular work and futuring positions us to imagine collaborative work to enhance all areas of study; and Dr. Green-Flint’s leadership and acumen in the area of conservatory operations is informed by her strong sense of contemporary pedagogy. Together, I look forward to our shared work as we examine how Shenandoah Conservatory can best meet the needs of our faculty, staff and students as we imagine what best serves as a 21st century conservatory experience.”
