Dear Alumni and Friends,
As I
write this, somewhere in the world, a life is being touched by an IUP Department of
Music graduate. Our alumni are
teachers in successful public school music programs across the country,
professional performers on the world’s concert stages, on the faculties of
university music departments, and arts administrators who tirelessly advocate
for our art form. They are transforming the world with their talent and
creativity.
Generous
support from alumni and friends like you can provide scholarships, support
academic programs, purchase instructional equipment, fund guest artists, and
address other needs to enhance the educational opportunities for current and
future students. Although public institutions like IUP receive a significant portion of
their funding from state government appropriations and student tuition, these
dollars are limited. Private financial gifts have become an essential source of
support as we seek to maintain programs and create new initiatives.
Your commitment makes the difference! We are so proud of all of our alumni and wish
to thank you for your ongoing support, or any that you may be considering for the
future.
With all best wishes,
Dr. Matthew Baumer
Chairperson
