“Not only did I earn a degree from À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, I became a member of a wonderfully supportive, engaging community. This community helped me grow as a musician, an educator, and a person. I had great professors in my department, but I also got to know other professors, faculty members, administration, and staff who were all friendly and welcoming. Some of my greatest memories on campus were sitting in someone\u2019s office, sipping a cup of coffee, and discussing the recent choir concert or art exhibit. Student success both during school and post graduation is a priority on campus. The community strives to educate independent, strong individuals. Being a member of the EOU family is not something easily forgotten. Even though I am now living in Vermont, pursuing a Master’s degree in Music Education at Castleton University, I keep in touch with my professors and staff on campus for continued support and advice. My success at Castleton hinges on my time at EOU. Every time someone asks me about my undergraduate university, I am proud to say I was a Mountaineer!”<\/blockquote>\r\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Facilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Musical<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The EOU Music Department Facilities are changing  and adapting to accommodate a more versatile student body.  Our recital hall doubles as a large recording studio, and we have recently added the small recording studio featuring Protools and Logic ProX.  Our Electronic Music Lab, which consists of ten workstations allows us to introduce music sequencing, composing, recording and mixing to all interested students regardless of major.  All of the studios are equipped with digital drums, guitars and keyboards for recording use.  Students interested in music recording, production or songwriting are invited to sign up for MUS 140, the gateway class for anyone using the recording rooms at EOU.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
