Westminster Music Professor Named Evaluator of Music Schools

The National Association of Schools of Music (NASM)  recently chose Dr. Grover Pitman, professor of music and chair of the department at Westminster College, as an evaluator.

"I am honored to serve in this capacity," said Pitman.  "I thank my colleagues, students, and superiors for helping make it possible.  "An evaluator's duty is a service to be performed for colleagues at other institutions for the sake of improving the quality of higher education in music.  As I have learned through church, scouts, Rotary, and other arenas, when we are called upon to give something back, we must accept the call."

Westminster College's Music Department was recently re-accredited by the association.

"Undoubtedly, the quality of our curricular program, the dedication of our students, the meticulous attention given to the preparation of our self-study, our detailed preparation for the on-site visit, the consistent encouragement and assistance from the dean, the confidence of the president, and the support of our program resulted in the positive vote by the NASM," Pitman said.
