Faculty Fellows Program
Lamond GenNext Award
The Lamond GenNext Award honors college students who demonstrate excellence in the field of music (from performance to business to event technology, etc). A $750 stipend is awarded to help offset expenses to travel. Award recipients participate in professional development sessions, networking, and special events, and have access to the tradeshow floor to explore music products, pro audio, and live event technology exhibits.
