Did you guess that Gailyn Draper is our Songstress of Songs superfirend who uses her power of love and music to make the world a better place? For nearly six years, Gailyn has served as assistant to the vice president of student services.

She attended Ohio Northern University and Bowling Green State University where she received her degree in vocal performance and conducting. Gailyn taught voice privately for 20 years and has performed as a guest soloist with the Phoenix Symphony Chorale, Toledo Symphony, Butler Philharmonic the Naperville Community Chorus and the DePaul Community Chorus as well as with our own Springfield Community Chorus. It may seem like an odd marriage, music and administrative work; however, Gailyn will tell you many of the same qualities one needs to be a professional musician are needed as an administrative professional: discipline, attention to detail, the ability to think strategically, real-time problem solving, multitasking, being a team player, perseverance and stamina.
