Honor your Student
As the parent of a graduating senior, you have the opportunity to make May 4th even more special for your student: you can make a gift to the Conservatory of Music in their honor. By making this gift, your name will be listed with a brief personalized message to your graduate in the Conservatory’s Diploma and Hooding Ceremony program – a special memento that will be cherished. All you need to do is send an email to MusicParents@pacific.edu for more information. Every gift helps to ensure that the Conservatory can continue to offer the programs that your student has had the opportunity to learn from and enjoy.
