Colloquium: Wednesdays, 3:30-5:00
pm
Colloquium is central to the purpose of the Institute and
to the faculty’s involvement in, and personal attention
to, how ISM students are trained. Colloquium is the meeting
ground for all Institute students and faculty, the place where
we study together, grapple with major issues, and share our
work as students of sacred music, worship, and the arts.
The Institute of Sacred Music Colloquium is a course, taken
for credit, that meets every Wednesday from 3.30 until 5 p.m.,
with informal discussion from 5 to 5.30 p.m. It is divided
into two term-long parts, with responsibility for the fall
term resting primarily with the faculty and outside presenters,
and for the spring term primarily with the students.
One of the primary tenets of the Institute’s mission
is to bring together into conversation the broad fields of
arts and religion. To this end, ISM students from the two
partner schools of Music and Divinity collaborate on a
presentation to be given in their final year. In their penultimate
year, student pairings are made and as a team they develop
a topic and thesis to which they both can contribute significantly
and collaborate equally. This process is advised and monitored
by ISM faculty, and atthe end of the year, they award the Faculty
Prize to the best student presentation.
Student presentations will be graded on the system: fail, credit, or credit with distinction. All ISM faculty members will grade your presentation and submit one or two remarks. The Director will collate all the information, adjudicate the grade and convey the faculty comments to the students. Students whose presentations do not pass will not receive credit for the semester of colloquium in which they presented; therefore they will not receive the ISM Certificate.
We videotape all presentations for our archives.
