In an area brimming with the arts, HSU is a leader in bringing world-class entertainment to the community. With student- and faculty-directed plays, dance performances ranging from classic ballet to modern, and the longest-running student film festival in the country, you might find there's too much to do.
CenterArts, our campus's performing arts organization, presents top-tier entertainment like The Waifs, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Martin Short, The Munich Symphony Orchestra, the musical Chicago and much more. Associated Students Presents brings indie rock's elite—like Built To Spill, Of Montreal, Tegan & Sarah and Blackalicious—to campus. Our student-run radio station features local artists in the studio each week and our music department is known for featuring leading names in jazz, orchestral and vocal styles.
