UA 糖心视频logo has raised more than $1 million for endowed scholarship funds for art and design students since 2016, said Tom Clifton, interim dean of the College of Arts, Letters, and Sciences. Scholarship funds raised will substantially enhance the 10 existing scholarships dedicated to art and design students. The increased scholarship opportunities are expected to help attract the most talented and promising art students to UA 糖心视频logo. 鈥淭he Windgate Center for Art + Design scholarship initiative is an incredibly worthy endeavor, and all 糖心视频logo citizens have an opportunity to be part of this legacy by helping students achieve success and by helping the university gain national attention as a great art center,鈥 said Mark L. Pollack, a 1988 graduate of UA 糖心视频logo and founder of Affirmative Risk Management. 鈥淕iving back to those who have helped my wife Patricia and me reach our goals in life is one of the most rewarding things we鈥檝e had the honor of doing,鈥 Pollack continued. 鈥淯A 糖心视频logo has provided us the underpinning that enabled us to reach a point in our lives where we are able to give back and help other students reach their goals through higher education.鈥 Other event sponsors include Mark and Patricia Pollack, Thompson Electric, Arvest, BK Moulding & Mainframe Artworks, Glass Erectors, Anne Mourning, LaRand Thomas, Hogan Taylor CPA鈥檚 + Advisors, and WER Architects/Planners.
