“Drive the Future of the Arts” wins naming contest
Written by Ashley H Pollock
The SUU College of Performing and Visual Arts Advisory Board proudly announces Nikki Lewis as winner of the naming contest for their upcoming CPVA Advisory Board Golf Tournament fundraiser. The Drive the Future of the Arts: SUU College of Performing and Visual Arts Advisory Board Golf Tournament will be held Sept. 13 at the Sleepy Ridge Golf Course in Orem.
“The requirement for the title had to be something relating to the arts,” said Jeff Kahn, chair of the CPVA Advisory Board. “There were over 60 titles submitted for the contest. Once the titles were collected, the board reviewed the submissions and voted for the winner. The winner received a $500 award.”
“When SUU Art and Design students were asked to use their creativity in brainstorming titles for the CPVA Advisory Board Golf Tournament fundraiser, I knew I had to give it a try,” said Nikki Lewis, master of fine arts in arts administration candidate and winner of the contest. “The funds raised from the tournament will support travel expenses to help students attend experiential learning opportunities in their field of study. As an arts administration student, we are taught in our fundraising and marketing classes that creating a catchy, call-to-action for a fundraiser is vital. With very little experience playing or watching golf, I researched common golf terms and eventually came up with ‘Drive the Future of the Arts.’ I am excited to see the event title that I crafted used to raise money for future students like me!”
The CPVA Advisory Board comprises members from various backgrounds throughout the state and region. Their main priorities as a board are to fundraise, promote, and work to share their positive influence on SUU’s College of Performing and Visual Arts. Current members of the board are Jeff Kahn (chair), Curtis Blair, Erika Bult, Alec Ferguson, Tonya Fischio, Kaleigh Fox, Ann Gomez, Belinda Han, Josh Harmon, Krysten Harper, Liz Harris, Amberlee Howes, Claudia Hutchings, Lane Olsen, Jesse Petersen, Daniel Ruesch, and Sara Staheli.
