Chris Oglesby Christopher Allen Oglesby graduated from Lee in 2012 with Bachelor of Music degrees in vocal performance, choral education, and band education. He is currently a second year Adler Fellow with the San Francisco Opera, a multi-year performance-oriented residency that offers advanced artists intensive individual training, coaching, and professional seminars, as well as a wide range of performance opportunities. Oglesby credits a large part of his success to James Frost, Lee’s opera director, and Tony Deaton, associate professor of voice. “Tony gave me the tools I needed for vocal success and longevity and Jimmy nurtured in me a love for opera and its community,” he said. “When I came to Lee I had never seen nor heard an opera and was peer-pressured into joining the chorus for Floyd’s Susanna by some senior students. It changed what I thought music could be.” Explore The Campus Through Our Interactive 3D Map Explore Ashley Soule Conroy Foundation Scholarship Amount: $4000 In order to qualify to apply for the Ashley Soulé Conroy Study Abroad Scholarship, applicant must be a U.S. citizen who is enrolled as an undergraduate in a U.S. 4- year college or university.
