Here’s the latest news from Middle Tennessee State University.
From red carpet duties to networking with industry heavyweights to witnessing alumni accept the music industry’s top award, several Middle Tennessee State University College of Media and Entertainment students enjoyed the experience of a lifetime with the university’s return to the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.
“It was absolutely incredible,” said Nicolas Edgerson, a senior from Griffin, Georgia, majoring in music business. “To be able to network with so many creative people in the industry … really inspired me a lot and gave me a lot of (great) connections that I’ll hopefully be able to take advantage of in the future.”
The students, accompanied by Recording Industry professors Odie Blackmon and Denise Shackelford, arrived in Southern California a few days before the awards show and worked red carpet for the Recording Academy’s black-tie charitable fundraising event honoring legendary rocker Jon Bon Jovi as MusiCares’ Person of the Year.
