2014 Nov 13

Jocelyn MacAleese of Catonsville, Md., was one of six Alvernia students to earn placement and participate in the Pennsylvania Collegiate Chorus Association Festival, held Oct. 30-Nov. 1 at East Stroudsburg University.

A Occupational Therapy major at Alvernia, MacAleese had to pass a challenging live audition in order to participate, and then rehearsed for about 17 hours over the next two and a half days under the direction of Dr. Peter Bagley, professor emeritus, University of Connecticut.

The festival culminated in a concert on Saturday, November 1.

ALVERNIA is a thriving university that empowers students through real-world learning to discover their passion for life, while providing the education to turn what they love into lifetimes of career success and personal fulfillment, helping them make the world a better place.
