Where Music Thrives | Championing Music Scholarship Bill, your journey began with a strong desire to deepen your understanding of music. You pursued graduate studies at the University of North Texas and a prestigious Fulbright Fellowship in Poland where you immersed yourself in studying Chopin. But it was your time at UNT that laid the foundation for global exploration of music history and culture, fueling your extraordinary success in advancement leadership. Molly, you were similarly driven by an aspiration to become a more accomplished vocalist. While your experience at UNT sometimes felt daunting – “a small fish in a big pond” – your time here provided the training, mentorship and performance opportunities that shaped your artistic voice and energized your collegiate teaching career. Together, the two of you have remained deeply connected to UNT through your passion for music and personal growth. You exemplify the enduring impact of alumni who carry their educational experiences into lifelong pursuits.
