“The Center for the Arts is one of the most welcoming places on campus, with highly capable staff who run the venue while making students feel welcome. Free student tickets provide access to some of the best artists in the nation and world, and allowed me to gain further perspective on just how many different forms of art can be produced in one space to such a diverse audience.” – Hasan Crawford, Musical Theater BFA ‘22
