Richard Sjoerdsma, Richard Sjoerdsma professor emeritus of music, is to be awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) at the national conference on Sunday, July 3, in the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile.

After over twenty years as the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Singing, Prof. Sjoerdsma is stepping down from the position. Despite recently retiring from almost forty years of teaching at the College, Prof. Sjoerdsma is still a major part of the Carthage family, and his many voice and opera courses will be remembered by many fine arts students and faculty.

Please join us in congratulating Prof. Sjoerdsma as he achieves this award and begins a new chapter of his life.
