Join a Giving Circle

The Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts invites alumni and friends dedicated to enhancing the programmatic resources in each of our three academic units to join the Art Patron’s Circle in the School of Art, Art History & Design, the Carson Circle in the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film, and the Encore Circle in the Glenn Korff School of Music.

Each circle is designed with four giving levels to encourage donors at every stage of life. Gifts at any level help and enable so many opportunities for our faculty and students.
