Music and Communication

OUKS-Ottawa maintains active co-curricular programs in music and related activities. Music ensembles are open by audition to any interested student. The majority of ensemble members are non-music majors. Ensembles include the University Band, University Concert Choir, Pep Band, and Jazz Ensemble. These groups not only enrich the cultural and artistic environment for OUKS-Ottawa but also provide student participants with the chance to develop and exercise their talents both in local performances and on annual concert tours.

In addition to music, the students at OUKS-Ottawa create and publish their own newspaper, which is the oldest student newspaper in Kansas.
