ademic department heads and arts faculty. This includes evaluating current arts curriculum and staff. • Develop, as indicated by evaluation results, new or revised curricula and syllabi.

If your aspirations and our analysis indicate that an arts center is a wise addition to your campus, we will assemble and manage a creative team, supporting innovation in all arts disciplines, promoting professional alliances, and helping identify financial resources and external sources of funding, with the goal of presenting yearly schedules of performances and exhibitions.
An arts center benefits students – as artists, performers, creators and the audience.
