Donor Appreciation Reception and Holidays in the Heartland Concert

Dean Kristin Sobolik and the College of Liberal Arts welcomed a record 350 people for our annual Donor Appreciation Reception at the Schuster Center on November 2. During the program, our student speaker, Gwendolyn Reynolds, shared her very touching story of triumph over adversity and expressed tremendous gratitude for her scholarship support. President Hopkins and Dean Sobolik congratulated more than 70 scholarship recipients for their outstanding achievements and thanked the many generous donors who made these scholarships possible.

The reception was followed by an amazing Holidays in the Heartland concert performed by faculty and students from our School of Music. This year's concert focused on the rich musical heritage of World War I and also featured songs from the American Revolution, Civil War and the end of the 19th century, as well as patriotic tunes honoring military veterans. It was great to see the Schuster Center filled with people who count on this concert each year to kick off the holiday season.
