Porter Center undergoing
'organizational shift'
by Nate Lyles
Staff Writer
The Porter Center for Performing Arts is
currently on the cusp of going through
some very in-depth changes. From creative
and innovative ideas regarding the
scheduhng, planning, and promoting of the
venue to methods of incorporating Brevard
College’s entire student body as a whole
into the beneficial area, it is safe to say that
there are many exciting opportunities that
the entire community can look forward to.
The Porter Center for Performing Arts at
Brevard College was inaugurated in 1998
and was named after North Carolina
businessman and Brevard College life
trustee Paul Porter It has made a name for
itself throughout not only the state of North
Carolina, but throughout the South as an
outstanding, spectacular concert hall and
musical and performance area.
Serving professional, musical, and
performing acts alike. The Porter Center also
caters to Brevard College’s very own
musical and performance-based students
who can shape and mold their very own
artistic abilities in a space presentable and
mesmerizing to the entire community.
A major change, however, that recently
has taken place at The Porter Center is the
departure of the managing director, Mr
Heacox. It is very important to understand
that Mr Heacox’s departure was solely due
to an entire organizational shift taking place
and absolutely not due to his performance
or contributions as managing director
Overall, The Porter Center is about to
make many elaborate changes which,
without a doubt, promote the area into an
even more well-known performing arts
center Susan Stromberg, Vice-President for
Institutional Advancement, is very famihar
with The Porter Center When asked about
what she envisioned The Porter Center to
be in five to ten years, her answer is
elaborate, precise, and exciting. “I want to
see The Porter Center utilized by all
students, not just by performing arts
majors.” Also indicated was that the space
would, in the somewhat foreseeable future,
allow all students to utilize the space for
their educational and professional goals,
even if performing arts were completely
irrelevant in students’ everyday lives.
The Porter Center is one of the many
spectacles that Brevard College has to offer
From its structural shell's undeniable
beauty to the spectacular presence of the
contents within. The Porter Center will
continue to represent not only Brevard
College, but the community, state and
south. The Porter Center is waiting to be
discovered. Venture out and discover what
it has to offer you for yourself

be guaranteed the same constitutional
rights.
