Music Co-op Stories
Northeastern music students are not always on the stage. Music industry students help behind the scenes dealing with arts administration, legal issues, and online media technologies.

Lydia is in charge of helping patrons with donations, and in charge of all the volunteer services hired and scheduled to work.
