Exciting opportunities await during the spring semester!
Welcome Back, Performing Arts Scholars!
Hope you had a wonderful and restful break! We are excited to welcome you back to campus for the spring semester! There are several auditions coming up for ensembles and productions. Please be sure to review information below regarding those auditions. I would also like to announce some upcoming social events. We are having a trivia night on January 24th and a game night on February 2nd. We are also excited to offer monthly breakfasts where scholars can stop in for some breakfast before or after class. All these social events will be a great opportunity to meet or catch up with other scholars and faculty and get some free food. Be sure to register in Campus Groups so we know how much food to order. In addition, we will have some exciting workshops and off-campus events coming up. Some of those workshops and events are listed below, but feel free to review additional events in Campus Groups. We will be adding more throughout the semester so be sure to stay tuned! Safe travels as you return to campus, and we are looking forward to some great performances this semester!
