The "Rock the Studio" events was hosted by a group of Event Planning and Management students at EKU. Their goal was to build excitement for the Noel Studio during the planning stages.
21. A Few Comments from Students A great idea! I think the Studio will offer the right environment to spur creativity and promote critical thinking. I think the Noel Studio sounds like a great idea. I wish I would still be around when it’s completed. The sample furniture is GREAT—wish I wasn’t graduating next year! I’m so glad such a historic area is finally going to be used. This is the kind if space that high-achieving students look for when choosing a college. I really like the concept of the Studio for Academic Creativity. I believe space truly has an impact on how we learn and EKU is doing will be great. I think it’s a great concept and a great idea. I personally can’t wait to see it and use it. I think this is really a good idea. The weird bean bag chairs are really comfy. This all sounds like it belongs at an Ivy League but it’s here at EKU and I love it!
22. Comments from Interim Studio Director, Dr. Sherry Robinson A big thank you to all who made today’s event such a success! Despite the horrible weather, 204 students toured the Noel Studio [our goal was 200]. They walked away with excitement and anticipation—we can’t get this built fast enough! A special thank you to Kathy Keltner’s PUB 385 [Event Planning] class for making this a fantastic way to get students excited about the Studio.
