Here at Rowan, our university offers you a plethora of platforms that allows you to express yourself and your interests. I would say that Rowan does a pretty good job at trying to maintain diversity on campus so that every student feels welcomed. Rowan’s art program focuses on musical arts, theater arts, dance ,and also visual arts. Events hosted by organizations like RAH,SUP,SOCA, SGA, and many other organizations offer students a chance to let loose have fun and show your interest and talents. These are a few clubs, programs and organizations here at Rowan that I find are very easy to reveal talents and commonalities you have with others .
This program allows students to put their talents into action whether they want to be musical educators, composers, music industry professionals, audio engineers and producers, and or students seeking a liberal focus on music. The department offers some of the best educators around mainly because they have a substantial amounts of experience in the industry of music whether it is producing songs that played on the radio or have had their very own musical career at some point. Recording service are also available in this department such as Multi track studio recording ,Streaming,mixing or post-production, rehearsal recording and etc. So if you’re looking to broadening your experience or even want some where to practice your craft in music the music department is for you and also located in Wilson Hall.
From personal experiences Rowan’s theater arts and dance program is very impressive. The theatre arts and dance program is mainly for students who are interested in the obvious theater arts but also for students who aspire to be choreographer, dancers , movie actor/actress,and etc. The program host many plays and musicals throughout the semester that allows students to showcase their talents to not only their classroom but the entire Rowan students and staff. With this degree/ program you do have to auditions to be apart of the magic. But what many people may not know is that it focuses on four different concentrations which are Acting, Musical Theatre, Design/Technical ,and Pre-Teaching. Which is providing you with various insights of the craft.
3.) Profs Spotlight
Prof’s spotlight is an event hosted by SCCA (Student center campus activities) that allows students to come out and perform in Profs place. Giving students a chance to perform their vocal, acoustic and poetry talents in front of a crowd. Profs spotlight happens ever first Monday of the month from 9 pm-12 pm. This is a great opportunity for students to perform for their very first time or even build a fan base. A perfect event for you to come out perform watch other performers and also eat.
4.) RAH
RAH( Rowan After Hours) is an organization that host many activities and events for the students. Their goal is to encourage activeness around the campus and provide an environment that influences diversity and safe and welcoming activities. RAH host so many different events such as karaoke nights, paint and sips (non alcoholic drinks of course), poetry nights and many more that really brings the students together to create a great time. RAH events are so fun because everyone there is having a good time whether they’re the worst painter in the world or a Micheal Angelo. And from my own personal experiences RAH hosted events could potentially help you find new hobbies and a new niche you never knew you’ve had. This organization introduces you to many different activities that you may have never heard of or even considered which is what makes the experience so incredible.
5.) Rowan Athletics
If your talent doesn’t fall in between the lines of “arts” and you’re more so interested in the sports you should definitely consider being apart of Rowan Athletics. Rowan has numerous different NCAA sports, Intramural sports, and Club sports to offer. Say you really like basketball but you don’t want to be on the NCAA basketball team because it takes to much time and you really wanna focus on school. Rowan offers a intramural basketball team every fall semester. You would only have to practice as much as you would like and also you can pick your own teams. Playing NCCA sports is the highest level of sports at Rowan and our teams are all pretty great. We have tons of NJAC championships and tons of talented student athletes who have won national championships. The greatest part about Rowan Athletics is numerous amounts of talents and the friendships that are build within the teams.
