“Give Day” at UC Davis
April 13, 2019
Three music funds are available to donate to on Give Day—
Shinkoskey Noon
Concerts
Music Lesson Fund
William E. Valente Music Scholarship
Shinkoskey Noon Concerts
From string quartets to electric guitars and percussionists, the
Joy S. Shinkoskey Series of Noon Concerts brings music from
artists of all genres to UC Davis. $5,000 Give Day challenged by
Bret Hewitt.
Home to nearly half of all undergraduates at UC Davis — 40 percent of them the first in their families to attend a university — the College of Letters and Science is the largest and most diverse of the campus’s four colleges.
Music Lesson Fund
Unique to any undergraduate music student’s continuing education
is the need for one-on-one instruction with a professional
faculty affiliate. This endowment aims to both increase the
number of minutes each student receives from 30 to 60 minutes per
week, as well as completely offset student fees for this
specialized instruction. $5,000 Give Day challenged by Anne Gray.
William E. Valente Music Scholarship
In honor and memory of the late Professor William E. Valente
(1934–93) and his impact on the many students he taught, guided
and inspired during his life as a music theory and composition
teacher, chief undergraduate advisor for the Department of Music,
and Conductor of the University Concert Band. Valente Scholarship
gifts are challenged by Gregory Friedman.
