The Fredonia Music Industry Club (MIC) is a constituted group through the Student Association, run and organized by students. MIC is a great way to gain hands-on experience in a wide range of skills such as event planning, marketing, booking, contracting, and much more. MIC complements the Music Industry program while maintaining the freedom that comes from being a student group.
Members of MIC gain the opportunity to network with students in the Music Industry major, students from other programs of the university, and outside members of the community. Throughout the semester, the club organizes a number of events such as the Life is Art Festival and the Battle of the New Bands as well as a number of on-campus concerts and off-campus shows. These allow students to take charge and put the skills they learn to real-world use.
