Scholarship donors had an opportunity to meet some of the students who benefit from their generosity during the Campaign for MSU Celebration Dinner on October 5, 2007. Pictured here are donors of an endowed scholarship, the Virginia (Mills) and Douglas F. Jewell Endowed Dean's Scholarship in the College of Music, with two recipients who are both DMA candidates in saxophone performance.
