According to a document in the folder, "Gig Office 2006/2007," the New School for Jazzz and Contemporary Music program formalized the process of offering professional performance opportunities in 2001. The original New School Jazz Outreach Project (NSJOP) mission was "to support students' external performance experience as they step closer to the their professional lives as musicians." The folder also includes lists of participating clients and interns, forms, reports, and event announcements.
