Inspiring Music for Uncertain Times
Annie Picard has been at NPU since 1998, teaching our undergraduate and Master of Music students voice lessons and classes. To encourage us now, she has selected music about connection: connection to our earth, emotions, beautiful sounds, joie de vivre, amazing musicians, words, nature, freedom, and peace.
“My favorite composer, opera, and singers. Need I say more?”
“Everything about this recording is sublime.聽聽Bach + Ich habe genug + LHL = LOVE!”
Registration Day
Virtual Registration Day is a success!
A special thank you to all the University departments who made our virtual registration day such a success!! Student Engagement, IT, and UMC all came together and, despite the logistical challenges, hosted a successful registration day event that drew participation from 70 incoming freshman choosing courses for the fall semester.
鈥淚t was a really collaborative effort, and it was very impressive that we were able to organize such a large event in such a short time frame,鈥� said Joe Miller, Director of Enrollment Systems and Operations.
The event was yet another example of how University departments are working together in unprecedented ways to maintain North Park鈥檚 high standards during the Covid-19 pandemic. Keep up the great work!
