Growing Music Therapy At UTC - And Beyond

Katie Goforth Elverd
UTC

This time last year, we met Katie Goforth Elverd, a professor and the new director of music therapy on our campus:   The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

At the time, she was launching the music therapy program here at UTC, which saw successes in its first year - and it’s back for a second, deepening its work beyond campus while navigating teaching and learning under COVID-19.

We caught up with Katie last week.
