-What makes EKU special?

“The community is so strong. The faculty, staff, and fellow students are so welcoming and supportive. It takes a village to get to graduation, and you have that at EKU.”

-What is your favorite memory from your time at EKU?

“Putting together and performing my senior recital.”

-Any advice to the next generation of student musicians at EKU?

“Chase every opportunity. When you get to campus, you’ll realize how many opportunities are truly available to you. Your college experience will be as great as you make it, so pursue everything you are interested in. And most importantly, remember to enjoy it!“

One Eastern!
