The Collegiate Summit also included conference sessions on leadership and advocacy culminating with a day spent on Capitol Hill where our students met with our state executive council (NYSSMA) and then members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. Our students discussed several things including supporting access to music education for the most disadvantaged students.
