Student Activities

Getting Involved

As a Craft Academy student, you will have numerous opportunities to get involved in social activities that provide additional learning opportunities. The activities and event coordinator will plan fun social activities exclusively for Craft Academy students, like movies, picnics and small trips. MSU offers many opportunities for you to be actively involved in campus life.

You will be able to participate in many MSU-sponsored activities, including clubs and organizations, marching bands, symphony bands, jazz ensembles, concert choirs, Chamber singers, Black Gospel Ensemble, OperaWorks, theatre productions, student government, intramurals, prom and community service activities, just to name a few. Participation in Greek life and intercollegiate sports are the only organizations and activities closed for participation.

Morehead State University is always working to organize annual events like Family Weekend and our Homecoming celebration, along with concerts, comedians, guest speakers, community service opportunities, numerous music, theatre and dance productions and other social events.

Personal transportation

Many Craft Academy students will be newly licensed drivers. You can have a vehicle on campus for weekend home visits; however, Craft Academy has specific rules for student drivers. Plus, a vehicle isn't necessary since everything you need is within walking distance.

Weekends/Visitors

We realize that as fun and engaging as the Craft Academy can be, you might miss home occasionally. You can go home any weekend, provided there is no required activity. The activities and event coordinator will plan exciting and adventurous activities for those who choose to stick around for the weekend.

In addition, joining clubs and attending the many activities and events at MSU provides an excellent opportunity to engage in campus life. Parents and visitors are always welcome at the Craft Academy. However, due to the rigorous classes, visitors should be mindful of their commitment to academic success and schedule visits accordingly.

Prom/Graduation

When considering applying for the Craft Academy, one of the questions you might ask yourself is, “Wait…what about prom? I’m not going to miss prom, am I?!?” Don’t worry. The Craft Academy will host a prom each year.

Students will work collaboratively with the Craft Academy staff and student council to plan this event. You may also attend your home high school prom if you wish. In short, have your tuxedo or dress ready.

The Craft Academy will also host a graduation ceremony at the end of your senior year, and you can additionally choose to participate in your home high school graduation.
