Chapters Ending: In Conversation with Dean Ingrid Jensen
As the celebration of 40 years of Jazz Arts at MSM draws to a close, we honor a truly remarkable chapter in our program’s history with at its heart during the past five years, Dean of Jazz Arts Ingrid Jensen. As she prepares to step down from leadership into her new role as a faculty member, Ingrid reflects on the legacy of the program during her time, and what comes next for herself and for the community she has helped shape.
