This Open Mic Night is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate creative expression and talent within our ECC community. However, all performers are responsible for presenting acts that align with ECC’s Student Conduct Policy (BP3.17) in the Student Handbook. ECC activities are designed to reflect the College’s Mission Statement of “empowering students and enriching communities through education.”
The Zoom link to join will be sent closer to the event. For those not interested in performing, you are highly encouraged to join the Zoom meeting simply to watch!
If you have any questions, please feel free to email Carson.Mowery@eastcentral.edu or Jessica.Robart@eastcentral.edu.
