Seeking advice on meetings with percussion faculty

My HS junior son is a percussionist. He does not want to major in music, but wants to be heavily involved in music. in general, when we visit colleges, should he reach out to the percussion faculty? Any tips for how he should proceed?

Also, we are visiting University of Rochester in a few weeks. Does anyone here know if there’s a specific percussion faculty person he should meet with when we visit? He found the name of the person who runs the percussion ensemble, but it’s not clear if that person is actually on the U of R faculty. Does Eastman allow non-conservatory students to participate in its ensembles and take lessons with faculty there?

Thanks so much.
