The University of North Texas has a very active group of students in theory, history, and ethnomusicology, at the heart of which is the Graduate Association of Musicologists und Theorists (GAMuT).  GAMuT is a graduate student organization dedicated to providing a forum for the presentation of original research by its members. In addition, GAMuT offers a forum for discussion of matters relevant to the academic lives of its members and serves as an organized liaison between students and faculty in the Division of History, Theory, and Ethnomusicology.  Each year, GAMuT publishes a journal that features papers written by graduate students.

Current and former graduate students and faculty gather to celebrate the marriage of Ph.D. student, Hee Seung Lee in July 2003.  Pictured from left to right: Carol Pollard, Margaret Notley, Cynthia Beard, Matt Woodward, Patty Surman, Hee Seung Lee, Earnest Lamb, William McGinney, Kara Van Dine, Cari Geer, Kevin Salfen, and Jean Hellner.
