Living Education eFocus News interviewed Dr. José Antonio Bowen president of Goucher College about the unique and creative admission process At Goucher. There is an understanding at Goucher the traditional admissions process—while great for many students—does not showcase everyone’s true talents and abilities. Goucher believes access to higher education should be about potential, not just previous achievement. The College continues to accept the Common Application and the Universal College Application. But they created the Goucher Video App to provide another opportunity for students to show the institution what makes them unique, why they would flourish at Goucher, and how they will fit into our community of learners.
Dr. José Antonio Bowen began his teaching career at Stanford University in 1982 as the Director of Jazz Ensembles. In 1994, he became the Founding Director of the Centre for the History and Analysis of Recorded Music (C.H.A.R.M.) at the University of Southampton, England. He returned to America in 1999 as the first holder of the endowed Caestecker Chair of Music at Georgetown University where he created and directed the Program (now Department) in Performing Arts. He was Dean of Fine Arts at Miami University, before moving to SMU in Dallas in 2006 to become Dean of the Meadows School of the Arts and Algur H. Meadows Chair for 8 years (ending with a No. 1 ranking for the School of Music in USA Today in 2014).
