Arts and Performances

Numerous opportunities for performance exist both through departmental interaction and student organizations. Students that are musically inclined can take advantage of the Concert Choir that often tours nationally and internationally, the Symphony Orchestra, Symphony Band and the Pipe Band. There are also numerous other musical ensembles covering a wide range of music including a cappella, acoustic, traditional African music, gospel and others.

For those who enjoy other forms of artistic expressions, the college offers such groups as the Highland Dancers, the Dance Ensemble, MacCinema, Fresh Concepts (improvisational comedy troupe), Mac
Jump and Jive, and an extensive theater program. The debate team has distinguished itself nationally for over two decades.
