Staff Spotlight! Beth Barefoot

Name: Beth Barefoot

Title: Administrative Assistant to the Director

What she does: She supports the Director of the School of Music, handling as many of his administrative tasks as she can, allowing him more time to focus on issues that only the Director can address.  Her familiarity with the faculty and staff of the SOM and CFA is useful in helping students find answers or resolutions to unusual or difficult situations when other attempts may not have succeeded.

Come see her if: You have exhausted all other possibilities!

Fun fact: She is the world's youngest (and, we think, funnest [is that a word?]) grandma! Ask her about her amazingly cute grandson, Booker.
