Michele and Ronnie Wise recently donated a collection of box sets of pop, jazz, blues and country music to the Wilson Music Library. Ronnie, a retired library system director and founder of a nationally recognized literacy program, is a lifelong collector of books, music, film and various forms of pop culture.

“To me, education is a means to develop and express ideas,” he said. “We are glad that our donated materials are playing a role in the important area of music education at Vanderbilt.”
