Year’s end brings time for relaxation, rejuvenation, and reflection. As we reflect on 2023 in the world of BU College of Fine Arts, we feel gratitude, inspiration, and excitement for what lies ahead. Take a look back before we leap forward into what’s next in the arts.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Leading with the Arts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We celebrate leaders in the arts and for the arts. This year, Boston University established an Arts Leadership Circle<\/a>, led by College of Fine Arts Dean Harvey Young. The new University-wide advisory group\u2019s mission is to further promote BU as a regional, national, and global leader in the live, performing, and visual arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In October, Boston University announced that Dr. Melissa L. Gilliam will be BU’s 11th President<\/a>, who is a scholar and physician (and not to mention a music-loving ceramicist). Dr. Gilliam brings a passion for the arts and humanities along with two decades of higher education leadership, and we can’t wait to see what 2024 brings with her leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And CFA faculty continue to trailblaze with their work. Karin Hendricks, associate professor of music education, received the 2023 Metcalf Cup and Prize<\/a>, BU\u2019s Highest Teaching Honor. She was cited as transforming the department by modeling the highest standard of teaching excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
