Words and Music to AU's Alma Mater

For upcoming graduates who would like to become more familiar with the Alma Mater - Words are listed below, along with a link to hear the song.

This link can also be accessed by anyone wanting to learn the song.

HAIL TO THEE ALFRED - ALMA MATER OF ALFRED UNIVERSITY Nestled away 'mid the Empire State hills,

'Neath the watch-care of sentinel pines,

Where the murmuring song of the brook hums along, And a favoring sun ever shines;

In a valley so fair where the forest trees share

(6)

Dominion o'er hillside and glen,

Stands the pioneer college of Western New York Alfred, we hail thee again.

CHORUS

Hail to thee Alfred, thou guide of our youth, Sweet benign mother, all hail!

Sing out thy anthems of duty and truth;

May thy clear ringing music ne'er fail.

Artist as Entrepreneur: Boot Camp

The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA)'s "The Artist as Entrepreneur: Boot Camp" is an intense 5-session course that trains 50-60 artists in the fundamental principles of sustainability - and

ultimately profitability - in the arts. This includes classes on finance, accounting, law, marketing, and fundraising. The structure is a blend of formal lectures, breakout groups, take-home assignments, and one-on-one consultations.

This July, NYFA and NYU Steinhardt Performing Arts Administration Program will collaborate in presenting "The Artist as Entrepreneur: Boot Camp," for members of the performing arts community including, dance, theater, film, music, music composition and more. The program will take place on the NYU campus and be led by a team of NYFA staff and expert presenters from the performing arts community.

Now in its third year, "The Artist as Entrepreneur: Boot Camp" has earned rave reviews from participants and generated significant interest from the wider community. Participating artists have produced two arts festivals and developed networks and opportunities that continue well beyond the close of the program.

The Artist As Entrepreneur Boot Camp runs on July 13-15, and 21-22, and will take place on the NYU campus.Five sessions: July 13 (evening introductory session), and July 14,15, 21, and 22 (daylong sessions, approximately 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.).
