Wow, what a crazy time. Like everyone, WAM is adapting to the unprecedented changes that the world is experiencing right now. We are working from home. We are practicing social distancing. We are doing our best to manage uncertainty with grace.
Our hearts go out to everyone who has been affected by this crisis, especially to all of the audio professionals, sound engineers, producers, artists, and workers who have been affected. We see you! And we are here for you!
During this time of social distancing, we are launching #WAMeverywhereto bring important workshops, trainings, and networking events to women, girls, and gender non-conforming folks everywhere who are passionate about sound (scroll down for more)!
No matter what happens, we remain intensely committed to our mission, our students, and to you, our WAM community. Stay healthy out there!

Summer Internship Application Deadline Extended!
We've extended the application deadline to April 10, to give everyone a little more time to take advantage of this incredible training opportunity. For emerging professionals in the field, the WAM Internship Program is truly an opportunity like none other.
From past intern Katie, "Internship for WAM introduced me to many opportunities in the world of audio engineering. I am so grateful for the professional experience and new connections! Learning from other women in a creative, encouraging, and non-competitive environment was priceless and truly empowering. Visiting Dolby Labs and Meyer Sound Laboratories, shadowing female audio engineers during live mixing for Hamilton, and assisting with recording of podcasts at the WAM studio was a nice addition to studying audio at school. A new generation of women in audio is coming up: world, get ready!"

The WAM Community is strong and we are so inspired by everyone who has reached out to show their support! Be well, look out for one another, and stay connected through this tough time so that we can all come back stronger than ever!
