	Andrea Kalyn Associate Dean for Academic Affairs

Andrea Kalyn is the Conservatory's new associate dean for academic affairs. She joins Oberlin after serving four years as assistant dean and musicologist at the North Carolina School of the Arts.

"Andrea brings a wealth of administrative and teaching experience to this position," says Dean of the Conservatory David H. Stull. "Her energy, musicianship, and extensive professional background will serve Oberlin extraordinarily well in the coming years. I am very pleased she has joined our staff."

At Oberlin Kalyn will oversee curricular development and program evolution, and will also assist the dean with matters associated with managing the Conservatory.

"I'm honored to be at Oberlin," says Kalyn. "The Conservatory is a remarkable place. The students are among the best in the country, and I'm looking forward to getting to know them and helping them meet their academic goals. The artists and scholars on the faculty are also second to none—it will be a professional as well as a personal joy to work with them."

Kalyn earned her PhD in musicology from the Eastman School of Music; her scholarship focuses on American music of the 20th century. Her bachelor's and master's degrees, also in musicology, are from the University of Western Ontario. She also holds an ARCT in piano performance from the Royal Conservatory of Music.

Kalyn has published articles on the composers Howard Hanson and Daniel Gregory Mason, and has presented papers on the chamber music of Brahms and Schubert, among others.
