We’re Golden: The Alumni Society at 50

A message from Jane Nuzzo, director of Alumni Affairs and Development at SVA

❋In the fall of 1971, The SVA Alumni Chronicle—a precursor of sorts to the Visual Arts Journal— reported on the formal establishment of the Alumni Society of the School of Visual Arts. That May, over 100 attendees had joined a reception and lunch at the George Washington Hotel to celebrate the occasion. Editorial cartoonist Tom Darcy (1955 Cartooning) received the fi rst Outstanding Alumni Award. Alumni Affairs Director Tom Gill—a longtime faculty member and program chair, who received an honorary degree in 1983—conducted a brief inaugural business meeting. A slate of offi cers and board members were unanimously elected, including Bernard Wagner (BFA 1981 Fine Arts) as the Society’s president elect. And SVA co-founder and then President Silas H. Rhodes announced plans for the College's upcoming 25th anniver sary, in 1972.

Five decades later, SVA is celebrating its 75th anniversary, and our global community of alumni is now more than 40,000 strong and growing. Alumni Affairs and Development remains dedicated to the early mission of the Society: advancing the cultural and educational interests of this diverse community; maintaining an active relationship with alumni through programs, publications like the Visual Arts Journal, and special events; and engaging alumni in the College’s mission to educate future generations of artists, designers and creative professionals.

With these goals in mind, the SVA Alumni Society evolved into an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofi t following its formal incorporation in 1972. Beginning in 1976, the Society expanded its programs to include an annual fund for student scholarships. SVA Executive Vice President Anthony P. Rhodes, who served as board chairman from 2000 to 2015, was instrumental in the organization’s expansion, including championing the annual Support the Talent campaign—and the distribution of scholarships—as its primary mission.

The current board of directors, overseen by Chairman Todd Radom (BFA 1986 Media Arts) since 2015, has helped to sustain and grow these efforts, including the fl agship Alumni Scholarship Awards program, started in 2002. In that year, 10 students received merit awards. Today, we administer more than two dozen funds— including the Alumni Society Merit Award, the Alumni Society Housing Scholarship and many named funds established by individual donors—distributing more than $150,000 to over 100 students each year. This growth has been made possible by the generosity of alumni, parents and friends of the College. Most recently, we established the Emergency Assistance Fund in the spring of 2020, providing monetary grant support to students with extenuating circumstances who are experiencing short-term fi nancial hardship.

As we celebrate the College and the Alumni Society’s anniversaries, please consider contributing to our 2022 Support the Talent campaign and helping ensure our continued success. Through the end of the year, donors of $75 or more will receive a book, produced by the College’s Visual Arts Press studio, commemorating SVA’s history to date (see page 4). As always, 100% of donations to the Alumni Society go directly to current SVA students’ educational and fi nancial needs.
