ALUMNI BRAVO!

June & July 2020

WELCOME THE NEXT GENERATION OF ALUMNI!

On behalf of the National Alumni Association of The Cincinnati School for Creative and Performing Arts, it is a pleasure to welcome you as a member of our Alumni Association. The Class of 2020 is the 41st graduating class of SCPA and we look forward to having a long and wonderful relationship with you.

We’d also like to connect with the Class of 2020 as they take their next steps in life. In the upcoming weeks we will being sending out a brief survey to gather information about your future endeavors and ways that you may want to become further involved with the Alumni Association.

• Social events
• Faculty and staff presentations
• Performances
• Recreational opportunities
• Reunions

 Our next big free event is  for August 2020. This event is TBD depending on Social Distancing Rules and COVID-19.

Be on the look out for our next Issue of the Alumni Bravo Newsletter! It’s all about the success of the SCPA Class of 2020!

Our boards primary objectives are to connect the alumni family in meaningful ways and to provide significant funding to SCPA. Our efforts to give back will bridge the gap between the annual funding provided by Cincinnati Public Schools and the needs of SCPA. Without our financial help, students may not have the training and opportunity to pursue their dreams.

We meet monthly to plan programs and discuss ways we can further cultivate participation in the life and growth of SCPA. In fact, during the last year, we have held a number of events for informal socializing and networking, and we have supported numerous student activities. The response to our past events has been extremely positive and we are pleased to provide opportunities such as these to bring alumni of the school together.
 
We thoroughly encourage alumni to contribute to social media posts on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and elsewhere, through adding their pictures, posting when they attend or have attended a SCPA sponsored event, and sharing SCPA news. The following are excellent places to link to the main alumni social media outlets:

OUR DARE TO DREAM SCHOLARSHIP

Dear SCPA Alumni,

We are pleased to announce that we have chosen our first two recipients of the Dare to Dream Scholarship for 2020. Our winners are none other than Ndaya Hoskins and Madison Sickmeier.  Both recipients of this year’s scholarship are college bound and our $500 scholarships will aide them as they transition into their first year as college students. Ndaya is planning to attend Pace University and will major in Musical Theater. Madison is planning to attend the College of Charleston and will major in Marine Biology. Our recipients met all of the scholarship requirements and wrote remarkable essays about the personal challenges they’ve had to overcome. It is our personal wish to make Ndaya and Madison representatives for the class of 2020 as we move to stay connected with them in the future. 

Our Associations theme for this year is to “create the legacy” and it is establishing efforts such as these that will allow for a legacy to grow from our time on the board. For that we thank you; The members and supporters of the Alumni. Two months ago we came together as a board and decided we wanted to develop and give a scholarship for these students. Through our diligence we have been able to give birth to something special in the mists of this COVID-19 Pandemic, where normal operations forced us to be apart and be creative and we are so proud of our scholarship team for continuing to push through for this! 

This is not the end of the road when it comes to this project. We want to see the Dare to Dream Scholarship continue to grow in both our number of applicants and the amount of scholarships we give out in the future. We also want to make sure our Alumni communities collective voice is heard when putting together scholarship opportunities moving forward. 

In the weeks to come we plan to conduct and release interviews on social media so you can meet our scholarship winners.

With the future of education in this pandemic still unclear we want to make sure that we have Scholarship opportunities established for the talented SCPA Class of 2021. If you would like to make a donation to the Dare to Dream Scholarship 2021 click this link: https://scpaalumni.org/donate/ and leave a note with your donation under “Scholarship Fund” or if you have questions you can contact our Alumni scholarship team via email at scholarships@scpaalumni.org. 

Sincerely,

National Alumni Association of the Cincinnati School for Creative & Performing Arts (NAAcSCPA)
