Board of Visitors

The College of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts' Board of Visitors was established in 2000. Members serve as ambassadors and advocates, provide fundraising support and act as liaisons to the community for the college. CFPCA's board is particularly instrumental in helping the college to achieve its many fundraising goals.

CFPCA's Board of Visitors was established in 2000 and is comprised of alumni, corporate and civic leaders, and community ambassadors. Board service includes the following responsibilities: recruit talented new students, facilitate mentorship, internship and other career readiness resources for current students, provide philanthropic support and advocacy for college priorities and strategically enhance the visibility of CFPCA in the Detroit community and beyond.

You can join our Board of Visitors and college leaders at a number events over each academic year.
