With over 1,000 art students, the faculty and staff of the Lamar Dodd School of Art are dedicated to providing the highest level of instruction in studio art, design, art education, and art history. The School of Art depends on the steadfast generosity of its most loyal donors at all giving levels. To recognize and honor their impact, we have created two Giving Societies.
