LAUREN DAVIS UPPED AT CLIVE DAVIS INSTITUTE

Lauren Davis has been promoted to associate chair at New York University’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, where she’s taught since 2006.

In addition to serving as arts professor at NYU, Lauren is the director of professional development at CDI. In this capacity, she oversees Senior Year Professional Development courses and planning for CDI’s graduating students. She will collaborate with Chair Nick Sansano.

Davis has 33 years of experience as an entertainment attorney. She focuses her classes on the legal and business aspects of the music business, including intellectual-property law. She has also lectured extensively on the topics of social entrepreneurship and advancing equity and inclusion in music.

Davis said, "It’s been a privilege to teach and prepare the next generation of music-industry leaders for the past 18 years. I’m excited to roll up my sleeves, work with Nick and help steer the Clive Davis Institute’s growth and expansion in the years ahead."

Lauren is, of course, the daughter of music-industry legend Mo Ostin.
