As Assistant Dean for Development, Dorgan is responsible for increasing philanthropic support from alumni and friends of the College of Fine Arts and Ohio University. He works closely with the dean and the directors of the six schools to evaluate funding needs to advance programs within the college. He meets individually with alumni and friends who have an interest in advancing the college and its programs through financial support and volunteer involvement. Ohio University is about to embark on a major capital campaign. Among the priorities for the College will be to increase the number of endowed scholarship funds to support students, endowed professorships and chairs to keep outstanding faculty and attract notable faculty, and the creation of an endowed fund to support visiting artists.
All gifts make a difference, and all gifts are appreciated.
It is important that alumni invest in our programs, because the greater number of donors we have, the easier it is to attract major gifts to support endowments. It sends the message that alumni and friends of the School of Dance believe in the faculty and programs. Our dancers cross the globe to perform. Modern Irish Dancer Trinity Irish Dance Co. performs at Mem. The Movement News Student group active with Visiting Artists, workshops.
