Thanks in part to a generous donation by Alanna Camerl, Moffett Library offers a complete studio designed to record spoken word for podcasts, audio stories, and other media. Located in the lobby of the first floor, Mustangs Studio includes the equipment and software to record, edit, and produce professional quality podcasts. The studio is free for all current students, faculty, and staff after completing the required Studio Training Course.
