Come to me if you have questions about your offer, for scholarship appeals, or to discuss Longy’s offerings!
BENJAMIN NOURSE GROSS (he/him)

Benjamin has been playing guitar since he was old enough to break the neck of his father’s electric. When he’s not stealing riffs from Robert Johnson or Mississippi John Hurt, you can find him foraging, fermenting, baking, cycling, or learning a new language.
Come to me with international student (F-1 Visa, I-20s, CPT/OPT, etc.) or health insurance questions.

International Student Advisor
Zishi Liu is a saxophonist and composer, who graduated from Longy’s JCM program. He enjoys all kinds of music from free jazz to pop, and is always ready to play and explore new cuisines! Zishi can speak Chinese and English.

CAITLIN LAIRD (she/her)
Admissions and Enrollment Coordinator
Caitlin Laird has been singing since she could talk. She is an alumna of Longy’s Historical Performance department and loves early polyphony, choral music, and musical theater rep. When she isn’t singing, she likes needlepoint, paper projects, reading, and carbohydrates.
