Center for Performing Arts Named in Honor of Former Â鶹Éç President Alvin Goldfarb
Dr. Goldfarb left an indelible mark on Macomb and Â鶹Éç. Beyond his art, beyond his leadership, and beyond his courage and determination, it is his passion and dedication to his students, and the people around him, that makes him exceptional. Humanity, empathy and the will to get it done; that's what went into his vision for then the performing arts center and now the Goldfarb Center for Performing Arts.
—Billy Clow, Dean, College of Fine Arts and Communication
