Folks,
For 40 years, IU has had a violin shop and violinmaking program, but now our professor is retiring and the department has not yet begun a search for his replacement. Myself and my fellow students have drafted a petition intended to show support for continuing the program, which has the backing of the string faculty.
If you would be so kind as to sign the petition, it would mean a lot to us.
If we're successful in persuading the administration to retain the program, there will be a job opportunity, perhaps for one of the maestros/maestras on this site!

Thanks for your consideration!
And a note to Jeffrey: if this is not an appropriate topic for the Pegbox, please move or delete as you see fit. I wasn't sure where best to share this. Thanks for your understanding.
