Located in the lower level of Bosler, the Media Center is designed as a creative space and a perfect go-to spot for students looking to explore, design, innovate or fulfill a class project or assignment. With ongoing upgrades and flexible hours throughout the week, students can utilize the space and its equipment. Student worker, Maggie Weeten ’26, said, “I like that I get to experiment with different equipment and use the Makery.”
Media Center manager Anna Kerstetter supervises student workers and keeps track of all the Center’s operations. Brenda Landis is a Multimedia Specialist, teaching students how to create podcasts and videos, advising the radio station and Jam Space. Jam Space is located behind the Goodyear residence hall, serving as space to practice, host open mics and perform music.

The band will also be hosting a concert located in Witwer Hall on Oct. 4.
