Table of Contents

          This is a working draft of the "Name Index - by school (Colleges & Universities)" chapter in my forthcoming book, (ca. 2028), FolkLib Index: Wisconsin Discography. This chapter will list every School for which there is at least one known full time Student who is or was a performing musician, and who possibly also appears on one or more recordings. Why was this page created?

Other Wisconsin Colleges (unknown music status)
          The following currently has no Music Department, Music Faculty, Music Majors or Music Minors. It is not known whether or not it EVER had any of them.

1. Marquette University
             Ted Alevizos, Eileen Carr, Pat Donohue, Brian Weyer

Are only Graduates listed here?
          No. Per the site residency rules for Individuals, attendance at a Wisconsin school for one full semester is one of the criteria checked to see if they qualify as a "Wisconsin resident at one time in their life". Musicians are listed here whether or not they graduated from the above school they attended. I try to discover the year they graduated and document that in their site entry, e.g. "grad. UW Oshkosh 2004". However, if I cannot determine that they really did graduate, I usually document it as "attended UW Oshkosh", or if it is a fact at the time I added the note, "attending UW Oshkosh" In many cases, I just have not yet gone back to determine whether or not they graduated since I added the note.

Why was this page created?
          Because in Dec. 2007 I found the page, Lawrence Alumni Compact Discs which included 40 graduate recording artists with their class year and the fact they have appeared on at least one recording. I have not found a similar page featuring an Alumni Discography for any other Wisconsin Grade School, Middle School, High School, College, University or Music Conservatory. But then, I have not found a special Discography page featuring the recordings of Faculty at any school either.

Totals?
          I have a very long way to go in documenting every musician's school attendence at a Wisconsin school. Of the 4,200+ individual Wisconsin Artists listed at this site, as of 12-14-2007, I know the school attendence of:
          Grade & Middle School - 0 (zero) Artists
          High School - 8 Artists
          post High School (on this page) - 107 Artists
