SEM EventsSociety for Electronic Music’s primary goal is to cultivate interest in electronic music. One of the best ways we can do that is to host events that address specific topics related to producing electronic music. These events not only enrich the community by providing new information, but they also foster collaboration by bringing together the raw brain power and talent that are the hallmarks of MTSU students.
