1980 Alumnus and Madrigal. I DO hope the music department can be saved.

I became a music educator because I had the experience of singing in the choir under the direction of John Leavitt, accompanied by Carole Pracht. The music at Newman U literally changed the direction of my life. It would be a travesty and would very much show the values of the University if it were to lose its outstanding music department. Deanne and Carole are two of Wichita’s finest musicians.

I know multiple people in the Newman Music who are all very talented. If this program goes away, Newman would be sad to lose all that potential for them.

Music wires the brain for good things to happen. A scientist told me this!

A liberal arts college can no longer call itself a liberal arts college without music

As an alumni I am wondering why we didn't know about this before a decision was made.

Signing in honor of current Newman student Dakota H., and because college music departments add so, so much to their campuses, communities, and to the students that take part in those classes and activities.

Music is as important as any other department. It was here before you and it will be here after you. Don't take it away from the people who pay you to participate in it.

The Music Dept is every bit as important as your athletic programs.

might as well cut all the arts from Newman University at this point and make it a trade school. What sort of liberal arts education can you really say Newman has if we don't have music?

Music is and has been a critical ministry in the Catholic Church, why would a Catholic educational institution drop an important department? It doesn't make sense.
