Jakob Smith ’10

“Since graduating from PiM in 2010, I have earned a bachelors of music summa cum laude from the University of Illinois Chicago and traveled internationally as a professional musician, performing everything from rock and roll to broadway musicals. The education and experience I received from PiM prepared me for success not only in my musical career but in my world outlook. PiM taught me how to problem solve and think creatively while welcoming criticism and growing from it.”
