Music as a Unifier

Music as a Unifier

Wake Forest University

Wake Forest’s Leadership and Character Scholars Program is shaping students into leaders who understand the importance of community, values, and service. Austin Torain, a scholar from the class of 2024, sees himself as a bridge builder—someone who connects people across divides. For him, music is a powerful unifier, and engaging with others from different backgrounds is a way to learn, grow, and bring people together.
