The College of Fine Arts depends on alumni, friends, and corporate partners to provide needed financial support for student scholarships, visiting artists, exhibitions, production enhancement, equipment, and faculty research. Without this support we would not be able to attract the high achieving students and creative faculty who make the College of Fine Arts such a rich source of cultural life in our community.
