As the College of Fine Arts prepares to embark on several major funding campaigns, the CFA leadership has been thoughtfully working to bolster the team who will execute our expanded fundraising efforts. With that, we are thrilled to announce that Denise Bégué has joined our ranks as the Senior Director of Advancement. She begins on 1/29, and brings with her a nearly 20-year history in fundraising and leadership, with a particular focus on arts advocacy. You can read more about her here. 

We are also pleased to welcome Devon Barnes to her new role as Development Director, where she will put her 12-year experience in the U’s Central Development Office to great use while focusing all her time and energy on fundraising for the College of Fine Arts.

Additionally, April Goddard and Autumn England are now taking on fundraising roles in the College, rounding what will be a powerful team poised to lead us into the CFA's exciting future. Join us in congratulating these outstanding professionals, and in thanking Assistant Dean Karineh Hovsepian for her leadership during this important search.
