As the LIVE Center continues to grow and make new partners, its impact on Mason students’ educational opportunities will explode and the impact on prospective students and recruitment will expand across the nation.

Our plans:

1) Expand the LIVE Center Mentoring Series to include Schools of Music, Opera, Art, as well as Theatre and Dance.

2) Identify 5 performing arts high-schools or community institutions to partner with and arrange Window Wall setups for all. (ideally institutions that have talented and diverse student populations in Music, Art, Dance, Theatre, Opera.

3) Maximize recruitment impact from all these events. Each School can inspire students from all 5 institutions with a potential of recruiting students from 25 pools.

4) Develop and/or acquire new, more effective technology for the Window Wall

5) Implement a four-pronged funding system, sharing costs with other organizations, wide ranging grant applications, private donors, and developing a unique, cool fundraising event using leading artists and the Window Wall

6) Continue to create new, innovative artistic "happenings" on Mason campuses and local community
