Memo: Faculty
From: Dr. Ruth Gurgel, music education
Re: Please consider excusing students to attend the AOSA (American Orff-Schulwerk
Association) National Conference in Kansas City, MO, Nov. 2-5, 2022

To Whom It May Concern:

Please consider excusing the following students:

Jenna Dominguez
Ann Barker

These students have the opportunity to attend the National AOSA conference, held this year in
Kansas City, MO from Nov. 2-5, 2022. This is a unique chance for these students to attend a
national conference that is not always held in our area. This conference will provide invaluable
instruction, networking, and other opportunities. Students understand that it is their responsibility
to communicate with you, discuss this possible absence, and make arrangements to complete work
in advance or at your discretion. Thank you for considering this opportunity for them.

Sincerely,
Dr. Ruth Gurgel
Associate Professor of Music
