The Anderson Center for the Arts, right on campus, is both a laboratory for young artists and a forum for mature artists. It presents both international and national dance, classical music, jazz, and theater events to the campus and local communities. The Center also works in cooperation with the departments of Music and Theater, the University Art Museum, and the Harpur Film Society to present a balanced array of art events to the campus and local communities.
Every student receives individual attention and training in their functional area.
Our management team is responsible for providing a safe, aesthetic environment for visitors to the Anderson Center. Dedication, enthusiasm, friendliness, and good judgment are a must for this position. We handle handicapped assistance, crowd control before the show and during intermission, starting the show, controlling visitors in the backstage areas, assisting latecomers, and handling orderly evacuation and safe re-entry in the event of an emergency. Training, supervising, and evaluating of volunteer ushers occur at each performance. In general, we see that all who visit or volunteer with us have a positive experience and want to come back again.
