"VMCS helped me to further my work as a twenty-five-year music industry veteran. My degree taught me to see my field through an academic lens, which will help with my advocacy work for artists in ways I was not able to explore before my time at Mount Allison. My time on campus as a mature student was rich and rewarding and I'm very grateful to the department for their support."
