The Foundation strives to create and nurture relationships with FSU alumni, faculty, students, parents and friends. Without private support, we would not be able to attract and retain distinguished faculty who conduct ground-breaking research and who inspire students to achieve beyond their dreams. Also, we would not be able to provide students with scholarships, facilities and special programs that will help prepare them for their future careers. The following gifts are just a few ways donors support FSU. Please note: as of October 2010, gifts of $10,000 and above are listed in Recent Gifts to FSU.

Recent Gifts to the Film School

APRIL 2011

The Digital Domain Media Group, Inc. pledged funds to establish the Digital Domain Media Group Initiative Fund in the College of Motion Picture Arts. This will establish a new Bachelor of Fine Arts major specifically related to digital media production and a new digital media research center that will focus on industry-sponsored applied research. Students will have the opportunity to work side by side with industry professionals on high-profile media projects — and even to conduct research on cutting-edge technologies that have possible applications in the film industry and in other fields. This new venture will provide in depth, real-world experiences that match the college’s unique curriculum.
