GRAMMY U Network is a unique and fast-growing community of college
students who are pursuing a career in the recording industry. The Recording
Academy created GRAMMY U to help prepare college students for their careers
in the music industry through networking, educational programs and performance
opportunities. GRAMMY U is designed to enhance students' current academic curriculum
with access to recording industry professionals to give an "out of classroom"
perspective on the recording industry. For inquiries, please contact Daniel Rojas at 310.581.8778.
