West Campus’ Student Government hosted an Open Mic event on September 7, 2010 at 12:00 p.m. in the cafeteria. Featured performers included Scott Dennis, Travis Lilach, and Wendy Yang, all Student Government members of West Campus. The three chose to perform some of their own acts to Open Mic Night, both to entertain the audience and pique their interest in future Open Mic participation.

According to Dennis, Vice President of the Student Government at West Campus, more Open Mic events are currently scheduled for October 5, and November 2, also in the cafeteria.

These events will begin at 12:00 p.m. and continue on until each interested student has had a chance to perform. The Student Senate will provide a basic set up, but any instrument or other equipment is the student’s responsibility to bring.

While there is no official sign up a whiteboard will be available, where students can write their name to regulate the flow of whoever is on the microphone at that time.

All acts are welcome, as the set up can easily accommodate groups such as musicians, magicians, and others wishing to showcase their talents.

To interested students, Lilach, Student Government President at West Campus, advises “Read, do what you want to do, as long as it doesn’t contain anything profane.”

He goes on to state that participation in the event is “a way for everyone to express themselves.” Lilach and Dennis consider Open Mic events both a way to give back to the West Campus student body and to encourage students of any pastime to become involved in future Open Mic events.
