A message from the dean, Dr. A.C. "Buddy" Himes
Dr. A.C. "Buddy" Himes
"Where would the College of Fine Arts be without external giving? The university provides the resources to sustain and maintain our programs, but it is the resources so generously provided by external constituents that allow us to aspire toward true excellence in our performance and academic programs. And, there is reciprocity to this giving. Everywhere you look, excellence in our programs benefits the entire community in highly visible ways."
