Chelsea Dykstra (B.Mus. ’20)This program has the most incredible mentors and professors. If I ever had any questions or needed help with something, they were quick to listen. I learned something new each day and now feel much more confident in my future career because of them.

Matt Winright:
Fostering Love for Music
As a college student, Matt Winright (B.A. ’19) appreciated how invested professors in the Music department were when it came to his development as a musician and as a Christian. Now, as a teacher himself, their commitment to him when he was a student means even more to him. A band director and music teacher at Mar Lee School in Marshall, Mich., Matt teaches K-8 students how to make music together. The Christ-centered education he received at Cornerstone University inspired him not only in his faith but also in his vocation. His greatest passion now is seeing his students improve day by day and enjoying the music that they create.
