Col. Lowell E. Graham, D.M.A - Biographical Information

Lowell Graham has taken on his role as UTEP’s Department of Music chairman with the same passion that he has for music. He was appointed in August 2002. But aside from leading orchestras, Graham is charged with overseeing the administration of the department. He has worked to support music faculty, improve recruitment, increase visibility of the department and provide the highest quality of music education. He's established a partnership with AOL Time Warner, now in its preliminary steps, to help improve music education. Graham has quickly earned the respect of his colleagues and students, who describe him as animated, motivated, expressive and perhaps most of all, energetic.
