Review Process
Submit nominations by emailing a letter of support and a professional bio of the nominee to music@best-lasix.com. Nominations may be made by current or prior music department faculty, and by music alumni. The Alumni Committee and Department Chair will review nominations to ensure all candidates meet the criteria. If there are more than five candidates, the committee will rank the nominees to select 5 names that will be presented to the faculty. Faculty who nominated a candidate will have 5 minutes to present his/her nominee to the department, and the department will determine the result by anonymous vote. Run-off votes may be needed in the event of a tie.
