“I recently read “The Last Lecture,” which was so poignant… I thought a lot of you. Pausch’s energy and how he affected and influenced people, students, and colleagues reminded me of you. You would be an amazing teacher at a higher level of education.“
— Leslie Pelinka, Oregon Pediatrician & Doctor Noize Fan
This was one of those emails that inspired a change. Cory loved being a recording artist and composer, but missed his days as a high school Arts, Communication & Technology Department Head in Silicon Valley. He took Leslie’s advice, enrolled in a graduate program, and was offered a college teaching job before his grad work even started.
After his Master’s Thesis in Recording Arts Education and a stint as a Professor at University of Colorado Denver, he became Director of Recording Arts & Music Technology at Regis University. Now he runs Stanford University’s summer Recording Arts program and teaches at Reach Studios and Doctor Noize Workshops across the country.
