Making a gift to the Department of Visual and Performing Arts does more than just support the arts at Michigan Tech. Your gifts directly impact the students from all disciplines who have chosen to engage or even major in the arts, assist in attracting world-class faculty, and support the creation of new and innovative programs.
Your gifts also shape students across all fields of study, far outside the boundaries of visual and performing arts. For every engineering student that has taken an art class, you've helped him or her become more creative and confident in their own field. For every premed student that lands a role in a stage production, you've given them the chance to express themselves.
It is paramount to acknowledge how important the arts are to a well-rounded culture, society, and individual. Despite the decrease in state funding, with your gift we can still provide an exceptional educational experience and continue to enrich lives.
Thank you for your generosity.
