GRAMMY U is a unique and fast-growing community of college students, primarily between the ages of 17-25, who are pursuing a career in the recording industry. GRAMMY U events and special programs touch on all aspects of the music industry, from the technology to the tracks themselves. Events are scheduled throughout the semester to give members a wide variety of experiences and professional development. Because GRAMMY U is part of The Recording Academy, members have extraordinary access to the industry and its artists.<\/p>\n
In setting the vision for this year\u2019s group, Mathis said, \u201c I hope to see our current and new members participate more within our chapter\u00a0and in our community. A big thing we want to implement this year is group\u00a0service\u00a0projects\u00a0around the community. We are planning\u00a0some projects to help local charities, sing at the nursing homes, and also make efforts to help clean the Delta State campus and some\u00a0streets in\u00a0Cleveland.\u201d<\/p>\n
