CMS SPOTLIGHT

CMS April Spotlight - Rachel Roberts
(Program Chair, 2024 CMS National Conference)



Rachel Roberts is the Program Chair for the 2024 CMS National Conference, which
will be held this fall (November 7–9) in Washington, DC. In addition to her work
as Program Chair with CMS, Rachel serves as the Director of the Eastman
Institute for Music Leadership, overseeing all Institute activities and
programs. As Associate Professor of Music Leadership, she continues to teach in
and oversee Eastman’s fully online MA in Music Leadership graduate degree. In
April 2023, Rachel also added the newly created position of Director, ESM
Strategic Initiatives to help the Eastman Dean oversee the implementation of the
goals, projects, and activities associated with the strategic plan. Rachel is
currently pursuing her Education Doctorate from the Warner School of Education
at the University of Rochester, with a focus in higher education leadership. In
her spare time, Rachel teaches women’s self-defense and trains Gracie Jiu Jitsu;
volunteers to facilitate AAUW salary negotiation workshops in an effort to
eliminate the gender wage gap; is an avid runner, hiker, and kayaker; is always
cooking new vegan recipes in her kitchen; and enjoys taking her Cocker Spaniel,
Cocoa, on therapy dog visits throughout the greater Rochester community.

We recently had the opportunity to reach out to Rachel to talk about her role
with CMS and what she’s most excited about for the 2024 CMS National Conference.
We hope you enjoy reading her responses, and we hope you’ll join us in
Washington, DC this fall! 

Q: How did you begin your involvement with CMS, and what led you to join the
program committee for the 2024 CMS National Conference?

IN CONVERSATION WITH PRESIDENT BRIAN KAI CHIN

 

Happy Spring Everyone!

If you happened to read my letter to the membership last month, you will recall
that I announced a yearlong strategic planning process for the CMS Board.
Throughout this year, we will explore every aspect of The College Music Society,
from our mission and values to our operational structures and the various
modalities that we use to serve the larger academy of music in higher education.

From my letter in March:

We have many members in CMS and while we all have our own words for the value
CMS can bring to our communities, it has become clear that we need to update and
reauthor our values, mission, and vision statements. While accurate and
inspirational, our mission statement is also so broad and lengthy that very few
people could recite it in an elevator. We want to ensure our membership can make
a unified and compelling case for why one ought to become a member of this
organization as we aspire to expand our membership to the whole of music
academe. 

By far, the most important aspect of this year’s strategic planning process is
to reevaluate and explore a new approach to our society’s words and the messages
embedded in our language. As such, I have appointed a President’s Task Force
comprised of carefully selected members of the organization representing key
constituents of our membership to propose reauthored versions of our society’s
Mission, Values, and Vision statements for consideration by the CMS Board.

CMS COHORTS

The College Music Society is excited to announce the implementation of CMS
Cohorts, a new initiative that will allow CMS members to connect with one
another through shared professional goals, academic affinities, pedagogical
initiatives, and career experiences. 

With plans to expand in scope and range of disciplines, the first CMS Cohorts
will encompass the following areas of focus:

 1. Aspiring Academic Leaders Cohort - The Aspiring Academic Leaders Cohort aims
    to nurture and prepare future academic leaders with a music focus in higher
    education. This cohort will focus on professional development, fostering
    essential leadership skills, and exploring the responsibilities of academic
    leadership roles. 
 2. Early-Career Music Faculty Cohort - The Early Music Faculty Cohort aims to
    support and empower early-career music faculty members in their professional
    development. For the purposes of this cohort, “early-career” faculty are
    defined as those who are within 5-7 years of completion of their terminal
    degree. This cohort will provide a platform for peer mentorship, networking,
    and skill-building to navigate the challenges of the early stages of an
    academic career. 
 3. Inclusive Pedagogy Cohort - The Inclusive Pedagogy Cohort aims to promote
    diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racist pedagogy in music education.
    This cohort will serve as a platform for educators to learn about and
    discuss inclusive teaching practices, exchange ideas, and collaborate on
    fostering equitable learning environments. 
 4. Music Administrators Cohort - The Music Administrators Cohort aims to create
    a supportive network for music administrators within The College Music
    Society. This cohort will focus on addressing the unique challenges and
    opportunities faced by administrators in music units, facilitating
    professional development, and promoting best practices in music
    administration. 
 5. Collegiate Music Student Cohort - The Collegiate Music Student Cohort aims
    to bring CMS student members together across disciplines to foster
    conversation and bring attention to timely issues facing students in
    institutions of music higher education. This cohort will be facilitated by
    members of the CMS Student Advisory Council.
