This semester, Western Carolina University is getting bigger, better, and more diverse in what they are offering students in the world of music, movies and entertainment.
Rotimi Ariyo, faculty advisor for Last Minute Productions, thinks it’s “important to get out and meet other students… and having fun. It (college) is also about the outer classroom experience… If you don’t take the time to look at flyers, you’re not going to know.”
