Survey Says… – The Vocal CORD
The 2020-21 match season delivered an unprecedented level of uncertainty to students and the faculty advising them.

The EM Interview Season: Pandemic Edition – The Vocal CORD
As the interview season approaches, both applicants and programs face a new reality—the virtual interview.
