Madelin Morales, a Voice major alumnus at the Eastman School of Music and Business minor at the University of Rochester, interned in the President’s Office at Lincoln Center. There, she gained firsthand experience with nonprofit arts administration, including board governance and executive operations. Thanks to grant funding, Madelin applied her Arts Leadership Certificate of Achievement training in real time, supporting board meetings, attending donor galas, and engaging with high-level strategy. Madelin noted: “This opportunity allowed me to engage directly with the executive-level operations of a major arts nonprofit. From supporting Board of Directors meetings to attending donor galas, I was able to apply my Certificate training in real time, in a setting that brought everything I’ve learned into sharper focus.”
