Happy #JazzAppreciationMonth! Did you know jazz appears in @TheNewSchool curriculum as early as 1927? Aaron Copland included jazz in his Evolution of Modern Music course, and Waldo Frank covered jazz in his Modern Art course. #MusicHistory 1927 catalog: bit.ly/3JcY152

Celebrate #NationalCheeseLoversDay with a slice of history from our @ParsonsDesign student work collections. Adele Mowton DuBreuil (Class of 1920) created this poster during WWI, when the U.S. government promoted dairy as a protein substitute for meat.
