On Friday, November 7, the John Branca Institute for Music at Occidental College will sponsor an hour-long panel discussion with three Occidental Class of 2025 alumni who participated in the inaugural research semester of our partnership with the Harvard Negotiation Project (HNP) this past spring as a special 2-unit directed research course. These alums will share with interested students their experience to get current students interested in applying for next semester's directed research partnership, which will focus on the legal and business issues raised by music and AI. Among the participating Harvard faculty next semester will be the director of the HNP, of the Harvard Business School, a world-leading authority on negotiation practice.
