Students learn about donor cultivation and how to fund-raise for their own future needs. Graduating students are helped to transition into becoming active alumni.

Examples of past opportunities:

• participation in annual donor Thank-a-Thons and Phone-a-Thons 
• leadership opportunities to act as special event ambassadors
• specially–designed workshops on fundraising strategies for students and emerging artists
• graduating class giving campaigns
