In light of Cal Day being canceled due to Covid-19, the Music Department Undergraduate Committee (UGC) recognizes that many of you are missing out on a chance to get to know the departments you’re interested in before committing to Cal. At Cal Day, the Music Department normally provides a space to ask questions about the curriculum, see ensemble performances, meet students, and more. Therefore, the UGC has decided to host two Virtual Cal Day Zoom meetings this Saturday 4/18, at 10am and 5pm PST for one hour each. The UGC is composed of students and faculty members committed to supporting undergraduate music students, and we hope that this Q&A panel can help students transition to college more smoothly during this difficult time.
