UC College-Conservatory of Music Dean Pete Jutras has announced the appointment of Quanice G. Floyd, EdD, as CCM's new Visiting Professor of Arts Administration. Her faculty appointment officially begins on June 1, 2026, and Floyd will work to develop and launch a new online degree in Arts Administration at CCM.
Floyd is an educator, scholar-practitioner and cultural worker whose career spans public school music education, national nonprofit leadership, university teaching and independent consulting.
She is the founder of Pete-Flo Enterprises, a social enterprise ecosystem advancing liberatory and abolitionist frameworks in arts administration and cultural leadership. She is also the co-founder of the Arts Administrators of Color (AAC) Network, established in 2016 to build community, solidarity and professional infrastructure for arts administrators of color across the United States.
Floyd holds a Bachelor of Music from Howard University, graduate degrees from Kent State University and American University, and an EdD in Educational Leadership and Management with a concentration in Education Policy from Drexel University.
Her scholarly and intellectual practice is grounded in abolitionist pedagogy and liberatory leadership. Floyd is currently completing a forthcoming book on liberatory and abolitionist mindset and perspectives in arts administration. Across all of her work, Floyd asks one guiding question: "What kind of ancestor are we becoming?" Her leadership is rooted in imagination, care and the belief that thriving should be the standard.
"Dr. Quanice G. Floyd is an accomplished educator and administrator who brings extensive expertise in leadership, teaching and consulting to CCM's Arts Administration program," said Jutras. "Dr. Floyd will take on the important work of expanding our Arts Administration degree offerings to include a new online graduate degree program. I am grateful to our search committee chair Peter Landgren and committee members Rebecca Bromels and Elaine Cox for their efforts with this successful search."
Cincinnati is our extended classroom, lab, career network and a place to explore, learn and serve. UC's urban location gives students unmatched access to real-world learning, artistic inspiration and vibrant culture. Our research and community engagement continually benefit the city we call home.
