(Spring 2009) Raymond Marchionni, UT Professor of Music and member of the College of Arts and Sciences Executive Committee, was recently appointed to the Board of Directors of the Lawrence Durrell School of Corfu (GR).

The school annually sponsors international seminars on interdisciplinary topics that draw scholars and leaders in their respective fields from all corners of the globe. Marchionni will also serve as Academic Director for the DSC seminar entitled “Cultural Collisions,’ a topic he proposed and to be held May 31-June 5, 2009. Additionally, as a Board member, he has been appointed this year to spearhead a new strategic plan for the DSC. Visit the school online at
