“The Digital Flagship program was very unique to other colleges,” Dworning said. “It had a significant role in not only her decision but those of others to attend.”
The university created an iPad loan pro gram for eligible students for the 202223 year, according to the Digital Flagship website. A supply of devices for a semester or program-duration loan will be available for students who don’t have access to their own. Students can reach out to their aca demic advisors and the Office of Technol ogy and Digital Innovation if they need to loan technology, according to the website.

Marissa McClellan, marketing director for PromoWest, said the owner, Scott Stieneck er, bought the space now known as New port Music Hall, located on High Street, in 1984. After the space was both the Agora Ballroom in the ‘70s and a movie theater in the ‘20s, McClellan said Stienecker has been hosting live music there ever since.
Concert venues animate Columbus, bringing in artists from all over the world and giving them opportunities to perform in the heart of the city.
Isabel Nixon, a second-year in graphic design, said she has been to concerts at several PromoWest venues, but her experi ence at The Basement was her favorite.
“It was just so intimate and, like, it was just nice and small and, like, it just felt, I don’t know, it was a lot more fun that, like, everybody was kind of in there to gether in the same space,” Nixon said.

“What has frequently happened is we will have a band play The Basement, and then they get a little more popular, and then they’ll play Newport Music Hall, and then maybe they’ll play KEMBA indoor and then maybe they’ll play the outdoor ven ue,” McClellan said. “The point is to grow these artists and get them, you know, on their way up before they hit the arenas.”
McClellan said having these venues close together enables artists to see how they differ from each other and the opportunity to play in all of them as their fanbase and popularity grow.
McClellan said the venues’ locations benefit concert-goers because they can potentially attract bands that they wouldn’t normally get by appealing to agents.
“The first show that was ever there, at Newport, was Neil Young, so it just has a ton of history behind it,” McClellan said. “And people that went to Ohio State in the ‘70s and ‘80s, they remember going to shows there all the time, so it’s like it has a nostalgia kind of thing.”
Venues familiar to Ohio State students — including Newport Music Hall, KEMBA Live!, A&R Music Bar and The Basement — are brought to them by PromoWest Pro ductions, an entertainment company work ing to bring artists to the Midwest.
“As someone who likes going to concerts and, you know, seeing artists in real life it’s something that’s very important to me that we have that in the area,” Nixon said.
JULIANA HILTON Lantern hilton.115@osu.edureporter
“But I think that just having the four ven ues helps us get more bands that maybe we wouldn’t get typically, because we have a little bit of buying power,” McClel lan said. “If the dates are available, if a show sells out at Newport, we can move it to KEMBA, things like that I think agents like as well.”
