Everything Fell Into Place

"Everything fell into place with the School of Music. It truly felt like home. Opportunities seemed to abound, and they have during my time here. Coming to Ohio University was the best decision I’ve made! The School of Music faculty come from diverse perspectives, but they all have the same goal: to make us the best musicians and professionals that we can be." —Peyson Weekley: B.A. Music; Honors Tutorial College; Treasurer of OU Strings; Class of 2022
