While this was the last concert EMDH will host this school year, Bone Student Center’s Hospitality Coordinator Kacy Rader has already begun planning for the 2023-24 school year with an exciting fall lineup in the works. EMDH regularly holds polls on its Instagram account to gain feedback from students on what artists they would like to see at the Bone Student Center next.
