Music
Dr. Kira Omelchenko was recently hired on as Associate Professor of Music and Conductor of the Symphony Orchestra at Wilfrid Laurier University. A link to her WLU information page can be found below. It is very clear when speaking to her, both on and off the podcast, that Dr. Omelchenko is passionate about music performance, music education, music scholarship, and supporting the musical community she is a part of. When I have walked by her office and the door is open she is nearly always speaking to a student or faculty member. Directing the same passion and focused attention with which she takes the podium, toward whomever she is speaking. https://www.wlu.ca/academics/faculties/faculty-of-music/faculty-profiles/kira-omelchenko/index.html
