Penn Music is proud to share that Sophia Cocozza, graduate student in Historical Musicology, has been named a Dean’s Scholar for 2025! This honor is presented annually to students who exhibit exceptional academic performance and intellectual promise.

Cocozza’s current research explores sound art. She considers how notation, gesture, touch, and community voicing inform interpretations of sound by artists of various backgrounds. Accessibility lies at the heart of her scholarship and shapes her approach to visual and sonic artistic disciplines.

This year, the Stephen A. Levin Dean's Forum, which honors the students designated as Dean's Scholars, will take place on April 8. Read more information about the Forum here.
