In a tiny office overlooking the Creative Arts Center’s student lounge, vocal perfection is being created. Jasmine Easler’s voice spills out of the second-floor room, into the lounge below and the Creative Arts Center Commons.
“She’s an amazing singing instrument, she’s an amazing artist,” said Jamie Cordes, senior lecturer of theatre arts and voice teacher.
Easler, a senior musical theatre major, was the recipient of an ArtsGala scholarship as well as a Tom Hanks scholarship. “I think the ArtsGala scholarship makes a huge impact in peoples college experience at Wright State,” she said.
ArtsGala draws nearly 800 patrons each year to enjoy an impressive program of student performances in theatre, dance, motion pictures, music and visual arts. During its 16-year history, the annual event has raised $2 million and created over 50 scholarships for the fine and performing arts students.
