E4: Dr. Mark Mecham, Pt 1

We're so very pleased to welcome today's guest, our great friend Dr. Mark Mecham. Dr. Mecham was chair of the music department for, well, a long time. He became a fan-favorite with faculty, students, and the surrounding community through his kindness, beautiful choral concerts, and visionary leadership.
