Learn more about the double degree at Âé¶ąĘÓƵ—and hear the stories of other double-degree students—at our <a href="/node/24686">Âé¶ąĘÓƵing to Âé¶ąĘÓƵ</a> page.</i></p> <p><a class="newshub_embed" href="https://youtu.be/GFIu6iErf70" target="_blank">Daniel Hautzinger double degree</a></p> <p>In four years flat, Daniel Hautzinger will leave Âé¶ąĘÓƵ with not one but two degrees: one in piano performance and another in history.</p> <p>He’s also completing an honors thesis on the cultural impact of composer Benjamin Britten, a project that involved two weeks of research in Britten’s Britain in January.</p> <p>On the side, Hautzinger sings with an a cappella ensemble and with the early music group Collegium Musicum. And he works in the college’s box office and the conservatory’s Office of Communications, a role that sees him promoting the exploits of fellow students who excel in their own ways.</p> <p>Âé¶ąĘÓƵ is widely known as the birthplace of the double degree—in fact, it’s a key factor in the college decisions of many high-achieving students. “Âé¶ąĘÓƵ is the best place for people like that, because the college and conservatory are on the same campus,” says Hautzinger. While most of them plan to complete their degrees in four and a half or five years, Hautzinger is even more efficient.</p> <p>“He is a perfect example of that Âé¶ąĘÓƵ student who has so many talents and interests, and then he finds a way to satisfy all of them,” says Professor of Piano <a href="/node/6736">Alvin Chow</a>, Hautzinger’s advisor in the conservatory. “Doing it all in four years shows just how unique Daniel is.”</p> <p>Born and raised in Chicago, Hautzinger began studying piano in the first grade. By high school, he had designs on being a music critic—a dream fueled by the writings of <i>New Yorker</i> scribe Alex Ross. Hautzinger knew he wanted to study music—especially contemporary classical music—but he also knew he wanted something other than a life of performance.</p> <p>“More than almost any other student I've ever taught, Daniel has challenged me by choosing to work on contemporary music I didn't know,” says Chow, a master of traditional repertoire. “We've had a great working relationship: We were willing to learn from each other, and we both profited from that.”</p> <p>Hautzinger’s history studies, meanwhile, skew toward European cultural and intellectual history of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Music, not surprisingly, lies at the heart of it. Over winter term, he spent two weeks in Aldeburgh, England, where Britten founded an arts festival in 1948 that thrives to this day.</p> <p>“Daniel argues that through Aldeburgh, Britten presented a vision for a participatory, democratic, yet non-commercialized future for British culture,” says history professor <a href="/node/5931">Annemarie Sammartino</a>, Hautzinger’s advisor in the College of Arts and Sciences. “This is really exciting work, and Daniel is poised to make a significant contribution to research on post-World War II Britain, the history of music, and indeed, European history.</p> <p>“From Daniel's first days at Âé¶ąĘÓƵ, he stood out as an excellent student,” Sammartino says. “He was, even at that point in his Âé¶ąĘÓƵ career, capable of thinking in interesting and sophisticated ways about a wide range of topics, not least of which was his interest in the relationship between music and society.”</p> <p>As effusive as faculty are in their praise of Hautzinger, the young scholar is equal in reciprocating.</p> <p>“One of the great things about Âé¶ąĘÓƵ is the access to the professors I’ve had. They are very willing to talk to you, and I’ve formed great relationships with a lot of them,” he says, citing his two advisors as well as history professor <a href="/node/5951">Ellen Wurtzel</a> and music theorist <a href="/node/6831">Brian Alegant</a>, among others.</p> <p>Hautzinger met his journalism idol—Alex Ross—when he was selected to participate in the 2014 Rubin Institute for Music Criticism, a biennial competition founded at Âé¶ąĘÓƵ in 2012. Through that experience, and by taking the conservatory’s Intro to Music Criticism course, he has developed outlets for his writing in both Cleveland and Chicago. In summer 2014, he supported himself through a fellowship with ClevelandClassical, northeast Ohio’s leading source for music news and criticism.</p> <p>“Âé¶ąĘÓƵ has given me a lot of things that I didn’t expect,” he says. “A lot of that has come from the music criticism class and institute, and a lot of it came through my work with the conservatory communications office. I get to see the con through the back door and meet a ton of great people.”</p> <p>Upon graduating, Hautzinger plans to return to Chicago, where he has established roots in arts administration through summer internships. If it all leads to a role with a small ensemble or another group steeped in innovative programming and education, so much the better.</p> <p>“Like Britten, I’m interested in creating programs for children and communities and widening audiences,” he says. “Basically, the goal is to not have art in this ivory tower, but to make music accessible and available to everyone.”</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">News Releases</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2016-02-11T12:00:00Z">Thu, 02/11/2016 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Erich Burnett</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2357">Double Degree Program</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2356">Conservatory</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-programs field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=25381">History</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=29541">Piano</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-departments field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/history" hreflang="und">History</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Zach Christy</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/width_760/public/content/news/image/_mg_7307_0.jpg?itok=2sovOo5f" width="760" height="505" alt="Daniel Hautzinger"> </div> Mon, 07 Nov 2016 18:02:04 +0000 eburnett 9846 at Âé¶ąĘÓƵ Student Mitchell Herrmann Named a Marshall Scholar /news/oberlin-student-mitchell-herrmann-named-marshall-scholar <span>Âé¶ąĘÓƵ Student Mitchell Herrmann Named a Marshall Scholar</span> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2016-11-07T13:02:04-05:00" title="Monday, November 7, 2016 - 13:02">Mon, 11/07/2016 - 13:02</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Mitchell Herrmann, a Technology in Music and the Related Arts (TIMARA) and cinema studies major, has been named a Marshall Scholar. Named in honor of Secretary of State George C. Marshall, the <a href="http://www.marshallscholarship.org/">Marshall Scholarship</a> commemorates the ideals of the Marshall Plan and the relationship between the British and American people.</p> <p>Herrmann plans to use the scholarship to fund two years of study in the United Kingdom, during which time he will earn two master’s degrees: the first at University of Manchester in electroacoustic composition and the second at De Montfort University, where he will complete a theory-based research degree in music. After finishing his studies, he plans to return to the United States to do doctoral work in music composition.</p> <p>The Riverside, Illinois, native says he became interested in British electroacoustic composition in a TIMARA course during his second year. “I took a TIMARA class in which I was introduced to the music and writing of British electroacoustic composers. These composers create music by recording sound from the real world, then using computer software to create musical pieces from these sounds. British electroacoustic music has been a huge influence on my own work as a composer.” He says the Marshall Scholarship is an opportunity to learn firsthand from these composers.</p> <p>The Marshall Scholarship is among the most competitive of undergraduate fellowships. “It is comparable to, and in many years statistically more competitive than, the Rhodes Scholarship,” says Âé¶ąĘÓƵ’s fellowships advisor Nicholas Petzak. The application process culminates in interviews with previous Marshall Scholarship winners and the British Consul General.</p> <p>“His music is being performed in some of the most prestigious venues around the world, his first professional publication will appear next year in the top journal in his field, and he is completing double degrees at Âé¶ąĘÓƵ in just four years. He is already working at a level comparable to the very best graduate students in his field.”</p> <p>However, Petzak points out it takes more than just an impressive resume to win the award. “The difference for Mitchell, I think, is he is able to draw on a uniquely Âé¶ąĘÓƵ experience. Electroacoustic music is Mitchell’s professional ambition, but he speaks as persuasively and passionately about the documentary film he made last year and his experience in Kosher-Halal Co-op as he does about any sound recording. Ask him about vegan cooking, the TIMARA studio, or <a href="http://stories.oberlin.edu/6/social-justice-activism/mitchell-herrmann-17.shtml">his film about the challenges faced by sex workers in Akron, Ohio</a>, and you will hear answers that express deep conviction, long and careful thought, and a sense of humor. It is a winning combination.”</p> <p>Herrmann says he appreciates all the help he received from faculty members, including Brian Alegant, who recently <a href="/node/9931">was named Professor of the Year</a>. Alegant “really pushed me to find impactful and accessible ways to talk about my work,” Herrmann says. He credits President Marvin Krislov and Elizabeth Ogonek, a visiting assistant professor of composition who won the Marshall Scholarship when she was a student, and a panel of other professors who helped prepare him for the interview in Chicago.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">News Releases</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2015-11-30T12:00:00Z">Mon, 11/30/2015 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Kasey Cheydleur</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2357">Double Degree Program</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2356">Conservatory</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2373">Awards and Honors</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2409">Scholarships</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-programs field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=25256">Cinema and Media</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-departments field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/cinema-studies" hreflang="und">Cinema and Media</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/conservatory/divisions/contemporary-music" hreflang="und">Contemporary Music</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Image courtesy of scholars.uci.edu</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/width_760/public/content/news/image/marshall_3.jpg?itok=UsBqWULQ" width="300" height="150" alt="Marshall Scholarship graphic "> </div> Mon, 07 Nov 2016 18:02:04 +0000 Anonymous 9906 at Aiming for the Orchestra /news/aiming-orchestra <span>Aiming for the Orchestra</span> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2016-11-07T13:02:52-05:00" title="Monday, November 7, 2016 - 13:02">Mon, 11/07/2016 - 13:02</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>This year, Hunter Gordon ’14, psychology and bassoon performance double degree student, entered Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music, aiming for a master’s of music in bassoon performance.</p> <p>Gordon says he dreams of being an orchestral bassoonist and chose Rice’s program because of the bassoon professor, Benjamin Kamins, many of whose students have gone on to win orchestral positions. “Additionally, Rice has a great orchestra, and playing with this group has greatly helped my ensemble skills,” Gordon says.</p> <p>According to Gordon, his prowess on the bassoon is due largely to his professor at Âé¶ąĘÓƵ, George Sakakeeny. “Hearing him play bassoon and listening to his advice consistently inspired me to pursue a career in classical music. Without his guidance, I would be nowhere near the level required of a professional musician,” Gordon says.</p> <p>Participating in the double degree program was a huge factor in his decision to pursue a master’s degree in bassoon, says Gordon. Having a hand in each school, Gordon learned how to manage his time effectively, maintaining focus while working toward long-term goals. Exposure to both paths made Gordon that much more certain of what he wanted to do after graduation, he says.</p> <p>According to Gordon, Rice does a good job of training students for professional experiences “by allowing students to work closely with high-level faculty while giving consistent performance opportunities.” Gordon plans to use the skills he has gained at Rice, both professionally and musically, to audition for orchestras, expand his musical network, and start his career as a professional bassoon player.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">News Releases</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2015-03-13T12:00:00Z">Fri, 03/13/2015 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Rosalind Black</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2360">After Âé¶ąĘÓƵ</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2357">Double Degree Program</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2356">Conservatory</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2974">Conservatory Alumni</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-departments field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/conservatory/divisions/winds-brass-and-percussion" hreflang="und">Winds, Brass, and Percussion</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Sean Gordon</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/width_760/public/content/news/image/hunter_gordon_0.jpg?itok=ELZXi7zI" width="439" height="573" alt="Hunter Gordon practicing bassoon"> </div> Mon, 07 Nov 2016 18:02:52 +0000 Anonymous 10561 at All That Jazz, and Classical Too /news/all-jazz-and-classical-too <span>All That Jazz, and Classical Too</span> <span><span>eburnett</span></span> <span><time datetime="2016-11-07T13:03:18-05:00" title="Monday, November 7, 2016 - 13:03">Mon, 11/07/2016 - 13:03</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>There is a futuristic, gravity-defying structure that stretches, three stories up, between the Bertram &amp; Judith Kohl Building and the rest of the conservatory. The Sky Bar connects the jazz department, which resides in Kohl, with the buildings that house the classical music faculty. Though undergirded by steel beams, it is welcoming and comfortable, suffused with the sunlight that streams through its glass walls on cloudless days.</p> <p><a href="http://new.oberlin.edu/applying/double-degree.dot">Double-degree</a> student Ashley Hale ’16 is a lot like the Sky Bar. She is a bridge between classical and jazz, a student of both styles in a self-designed major that she calls “Versatile Trumpet Performance: A Study Within Multiple Genres.” She is also pursuing an <a href="http://new.oberlin.edu/arts-and-sciences/departments/economics/index.dot">economics</a> degree in the College of Arts &amp; Sciences, a decision she arrived at after considering neuroscience too.</p> <p>Despite the loaded schedule, Hale’s personality is as sunny as a Sky Bar afternoon—which happens to be where she’s hanging out on a recent fall semester day.</p> <p>“I really love the trumpet, but I want to dabble in other things as well,” she says. “Economics will definitely come into play in the post-college world. And there’s so much to learn about both jazz and classical, and all the stuff in between.”</p> <p>Studying disparate subjects also makes Hale more productive, she says. “If I’m in a practice room and really frustrated, I can just bust out some economics homework. Or if I’m getting sleepy when I’m doing my econ reading, I can practice. It’s a relief. If I’m getting too much of one thing, I can pause and work on the other instead of just going on Facebook for hours.”</p> <p>Yet Hale took a while to settle into this path. She was accepted into the conservatory in her second year at Âé¶ąĘÓƵ, having taken classical lessons on campus as a first-year student. She played in the Âé¶ąĘÓƵ Jazz Ensemble and enjoyed hanging out in the jazz building that first year, but she auditioned only for the classical trumpet studio. “I’ve always played classical music and felt more comfortable with it,” she says. “I had barely improvised before coming to Âé¶ąĘÓƵ.”</p> <p><iframe allowfullscreen frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PR87Dcx8yAM" title="Double-degree student Ashley Hale ’16" width="560"></iframe></p> <p>Once she was accepted into the conservatory, she worked closely with Associate Professor of Jazz Arranging <a href="http://new.oberlin.edu/conservatory/departments/jazz-studies/faculty_detail.dot?id=3439181">Jay Ashby</a> and Associate Dean for Student Academic Affairs <a href="http://new.oberlin.edu/conservatory/dean/dean-detail.dot?id=233307">Mary Gray</a> to create a curriculum that would allow her to study both classical and jazz—and still graduate within the five-year window typical of the double-degree program.</p> <p>“Ashley possesses one of the most beautiful and natural sounds on the trumpet that I've heard in many years,” Ashby says. “She reflects a level of commitment and focus that is hard to fathom. And to think—she's just getting started!”</p> <p>Or, in the words of a fellow trumpet player and double-degree student hanging out in the Sky Bar on this day: “Ashley is amazing!”</p> <p>Hale doesn’t know where it’s all headed, but she knows what she wants to do with her life.</p> <p>“My main goal is to play trumpet and get paid for it,” she says. And if her degree in economics helps her manage the money, so much the better.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">News Releases</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2015-02-13T12:00:00Z">Fri, 02/13/2015 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Daniel Hautzinger</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2357">Double Degree Program</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2356">Conservatory</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-programs field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=25341">Economics</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-departments field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/conservatory/divisions/jazz-studies" hreflang="und">Jazz Studies</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/conservatory/divisions/winds-brass-and-percussion" hreflang="und">Winds, Brass, and Percussion</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/economics" hreflang="und">Economics</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-caption field--type-string-long field--label-hidden field__item">Double-degree student Ashley Hale blends an economics major in the college with a self-designed major in the conservatory that unites her love of classical and jazz trumpet.</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/width_760/public/content/news/image/rs15613_p9200285-lpr_1.jpg?itok=JuIlBXJY" width="760" height="502" alt="Ashley Hale performing on the trumpet"> </div> Mon, 07 Nov 2016 18:03:18 +0000 eburnett 10661 at Putting It All Together: Charlie Abbott '15 Blends Two Majors & More /news/putting-it-all-together-charlie-abbott-15-blends-two-majors-more <span>Putting It All Together: Charlie Abbott '15 Blends Two Majors &amp; More</span> <span><span>eburnett</span></span> <span><time datetime="2016-11-07T13:03:18-05:00" title="Monday, November 7, 2016 - 13:03">Mon, 11/07/2016 - 13:03</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Charlie Abbott ’15 had played violin ever since he was three, but the first time he broke away from traditional music conventions was in his high school band, the Big Trucks.</p> <p>“There was a ridiculous law firm commercial we saw on TV once, so we called the phone number they showed and recorded their phone extension directory—30 minutes of people saying their name slowly and annoyed, followed by whatever their phone extension number was—and made a song out of our favorite bits.</p> <p>"I fell in love with that process and the idea of contextualizing sounds we hear all the time in a way that conveys emotions," says Abbott, a senior from Concord, Massachusetts.</p> <p>Abbott’s passion for atypical musical styles led him to enroll in Âé¶ąĘÓƵ’s <a href="http://new.oberlin.edu/conservatory/departments/TIMARA/">Technology in Music and Related Arts</a> program. “TIMARA was the only place I found where I could really pursue that in an academic setting," he says.</p> <p>Abbott is one of about 180 students in the double-degree program at Âé¶ąĘÓƵ: Along with his TIMARA major in the conservatory, he is pursuing a degree in cinema studies with a minor in East Asian studies in the College of Arts and Sciences. Though these disciplines may seem divergent, Abbott manages to blend them both inside and outside the classroom.</p> <p><iframe allowfullscreen frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/UJ07gE_qGgA" title="Double Degree Student: Charlie Abbott ’15" width="560"></iframe></p> <p>“The holistic approach that the double-degree program and the TIMARA, cinema studies, and East Asian studies departments offer is really unique,” he says. “For example, in my private reading, I’m doing all sorts of research on the cultural and historical aspects of different Japanese music and arts movements. My training in the conservatory gives me the tools and academic setting to analyze music and relate it to other music. My cinema studies major gives me the tools and academic setting to analyze and compare film and video art. And my East Asian studies minor lets me put all this into a specific cultural context.”</p> <p>Over spring break 2014, Abbott conducted an independent study in Japan, where he researched, filmed, and participated in the underground electronic music scene—a true synthesis of his academic interests. During his time there, he traded three-hour visual projection sets at a music festival with a Japanese visual artist, opened for the artist Goth-Trad, and filmed 48 hours of concerts, interviews, and B-roll footage.</p> <p>Outside the classroom, Abbott creates visual accompaniment for musical acts through Real Boy Digital, the company he co-founded with composition major Myles Emmons and fellow double-degree student <a href="/news/now-you-hear-him-devin-frenze-15-explores-limits-human-ears">Devin Frenze</a>.</p> <p>Abbott put his audiovisual training into practice for his own junior recital.</p> <p>“<a href="https://ryvryvryv.bandcamp.com/">This recital</a> was a combination of the music and visual art that I had worked on over the course of the semester,” he says. “My partner stood on either side of the big projection screen in Stull Hall and tried to make it a fun, accessible environment for some harsh noise and geometric visual accompaniment. In my preparation for my recital, I figured out some of the fun aspects of working with the speaker system and my music. For instance, I learned how to perform my music so it makes the subwoofer rattle the ceiling and use the speakers so it sounds like some of the music is super-close to you.”</p> <p>“I tried to use short, four-bar loops, with really off-kilter percussive material—taking influence from two Japanese hip-hop artists, Youtaro and Repeat Pattern—and develop the rest of the space by stitching together recordings of various familiar spaces, like recordings of my basement in a strong rainstorm on top of recordings from inside the dorm I was living in in Japan during a typhoon.</p> <p>“Next year," he adds, "I'm really looking for ways to get back to Japan, so I can keep on working with all of these artists and people that have influenced me so much."</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">News Releases</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2014-12-03T12:00:00Z">Wed, 12/03/2014 -
