Looking for a 2-credit class to round out your spring schedule? Love the music of Taylor Swift? Then you should register for MUS408 Current and Future Issues in the Music Industry (MW 2:20-3:20 pm, Scott LeGere). This spring this topics course will focus on “Taylor Swift: The Myth of Genius and the Repeatability of Success.”
Don’t have any background in music business? No problem! We won’t be talking about the music business per se, but about resilience, courage, community, and other career development related issues. The material should be relevant and fun for a wide variety of students. Our text will be a recent release from Harvard Business Review, “There’s Nothing Like This: The Strategic Genius of Taylor Swift” along with some other materials.
For questions or more information please reach out to Scott LeGere: legere@augsburg.edu

As-salamualaikum! My name is Sana Khan and I am currently a clinical psychology doctoral study student at Augsburg University. I am conducting a research study about how the mental health and religiosity of Muslim college students is impacted by Islamophobia and I would love to have you be a part of my study! The study will consist of an initial screener to make sure eligibility criteria is met and then scheduling an interview in which I ask you questions about your demographics and experience as a Muslim college student as related to Islam, religiosity, and Islamophobia. The interview should take approximately 25 minutes to 35 minutes to complete. To thank you for your participation, upon completion of your interview, there will be an option at the end for you to enter your information to receive a $10 Visa gift card. If you are interested in participating, please contact me at my email listed below. I appreciate you taking time to consider being a part of my project.
