As Dean of the College of the Arts, it is my privilege to connect with alumni to share how we are making an impact, providing an exceptional transformational education for our students and empowering them to make the most of their education.
Thanks to the support and generosity of our donors, Montclair State University continues to deliver rigorous programs and life-changing opportunities.
Some of the exciting developments at the College of the Arts include:

- In the John J. Cali School of Music...
- The MSU Chorale, under the direction of Heather Buchanan, recently performed at Carnegie Hall for a benefit concert for Doctors Without Borders.
- In the Department of Theater & Dance...
- Alumnus Joshua de la Cruz '11, formerly the lead in Alladin on Broadway, joins the new Nickeloden series, Blue’s Clues & You, as the lead role.
With thanks,
Daniel A. Gurskis
Dean, College of the Arts
We're hoping we can count on alumni and friends of the School to come together and raise $1,000 by the end of day today in support of the School of Communication and Media. Such a successful outcome will unlock a $2,000 challenge gift from a faculty member's donor advised fund supporting scholarships for SCM students.
