Would you like to learn how your major or minor in the humanities gives you important preparation that will help you in many different professional fields?

If so, please join us for a Humanities Hangout with Rachel Whitney (IU B.A. ’04, Spanish + International Studies; MBA, Vanderbilt University).

Ms. Whitney will speak about how a humanities perspective has influenced her approach to business, problem solving, decision making, working with others, and more.

Ms. Whitney has worked in music in Nashville for 20 years. She has focused in particular on the intersection of music and technology. She has worked at YouTube and Pandora and, most recently, has spent five years at Spotify as the Head of Editorial for Nashville, where she led the team that covers rock and alternative, country, and Christian and gospel music programming. Before working in music programming, she was Director of Digital Marketing at Borman Entertainment. She currently serves on the board of the Americana Music Association and has also served on the boards of the Country Music Association and Leadership Music.
