"Mathletes" and Gadget Kids also like Performing Arts

One of the students who writes for Kettering University's student newspaper The Technician recently submitted a story about performing arts opportunities on campus. She writes, "One of Kettering's best-kept secrets is its performing and fine arts programs. Check out what exciting opportunities Kettering has to offer, all free of charge!"  

Students and parents often ask me about this. Kettering University does not offer music or dance performance courses as a part of its curriculum, but some students do participate in after-school and evening activities that are provided through the Student Life office. 

For example, this term a director from the Flint Institute of Music leads the Kettering Choir in rehearsals on Thursday evenings. There is a Kettering Band that practices once a week and will perform a concert during 10th week. (At Kettering, events and activities are tracked by the week of the term during which they take place. "10th week" is classic Kettering verbiage.)
 

Students may sign up for piano lessons, or even a dance class. The class has apparently finished learning the tango this term and has now moved onto the waltz. I do hope to see some tango demonstrations in the Great Court of the Campus Center soon!
