Having just concluded the fall semester, Berklee is closed until January 4, 2010. We expect more than 325 new students to enter the College for the Spring semester and that our total enrollment will continue to be above 4,000. We're very excited to welcome our new students when spring orientation begins January 12. Our academic calendar is here, for those interested.
Happy New Year!

Berklee In Tel Aviv for A&I
Reposted from Berklee-Blogs:
After a 4-hour layover in Frankfurt, we arrived safely in Tel Aviv and made our way to the Melody Hotel. This is part of a larger strategicplan to stay only in hotels that have names associated with music (;JK). We just know there is a mixolydian or phrygian hotel out there somewhere. I am traveling with Greg Badolato VP International Programs, David Mash VP Technology Resources(who is accompanied by his wife Erica) and Myra Hindus VP Cultural Diversity. This is the first stop in a 3 city tour that will include Ramallah and Amman. Our hosts arranged a welcome dinner on Sunday night. It is now Monday morning and we will have our first meeting with the Rimon administration this morning.
It is always a wonderful experience to visit our friends in Tel Aviv. We are certain to meet students that are performing at the highest level and we will give a presentation later today to discuss preparing for Berklee’s audition and interview. Our partners at Rimon shared with us the surge in students that want to pursue songwriting as their major and we look forward to hearing what they have to offer.

Dean of Admissions

Berklee College of Music Auditions in Istanbul, Turkey
For the first time ever, we recently brought an audition team to Istanbul, Turkey.
Here's the link to an interview with Emir Cermen, one of our students who was instrumental in bringing Berklee to Turkey. By all accounts, this was a great experience for everyone. We also have coverage at Berklee-Blogs.
Our commitment to global outreach is embedded in all that we do. Our next initiatives will include India and China - stay tuned!

We continue to develop our blogging efforts at berklee-blogs. One exciting new initiative includes having some of our international students writing about aspects of Berklee life. Here's an example from one of our Korean students and a piece on the BIRN, the Berklee Internet Radio Station.
