Distinguished Alumni

Honoring greatness

 In the College of Fine Arts we our extremely proud of the artistic achievements of our alumni and this is why we began holding an annual College of Fine Arts Distinguished Alumni Assembly. This tradition began in 2009 in concert with our 60th Anniversary Celebration and continues every fall as a kick off to the year.

Our 2012 fall Assembly will be on Sept. 27th in Kingsbury Hall from 10:45AM-12:15PM and will feature a performance or presentation by each department. This event is free and open to the public and we invite all of our campus and our community to join us for this amazing event.

The 2012-13 Honorees are:

Bruce Lindsey, Art & Art History

Sandra Allen, Ballet

Trent Harris, Film & Media Arts

Keith Johnson, Modern Dance

Raymond Chobaz, Music

Timothy McCuen Piggee, Theatre

Honorees are presented with a bronze medal designed by faculty from the Art & Art History Department Kaiti Slaiter, Brian Snapp and Ed Bateman. During their return to campus, alumni shared their talents and expertise teaching master class and lectures in their former departments.

Past keynote speakers have included, Daniel Beaty, Carol Becker, and Bruce Marks.
