What is Fame?
The Fine Arts Mentoring and Enrichment Program (FAME) offers support programming to first-year College of Fine Arts students to aid in their transition to university life. This program strives to provide students with resources and tools for academic achievement throughout their entire undergraduate careers.
Students are invited to participate in the program based on a variety of factors that include but are not limited to exceptional financial need, first generation college student status, and academic preparation outside of Fine Arts subjects. COFA aims to be as holistic in our selection process as possible.
The current cohort, mentor team, and upcoming events will be announced soon!
