Alumni Outreach

Hello to all my fellow Alumni, On behalf of the Foundation, I'm very excited to share some exciting Dreyfoos School of the Arts news. This year marks our 30th Anniversary, and it is an exciting time to be part of what's happening at Dreyfoos School of the Arts Foundation (SOAFI). As an alumnus, you know firsthand what a special place Dreyfoos is. Even for myself, who didn't pursue a career in the arts, it's safe to say I would not be where I am today without the inspiring environment we all experienced at Dreyfoos. From the teachers and staff to each of us who stepped foot on campus, we all made Dreyfoos our home. I'm confident DSOA left its mark on you. The magic of this place is real!
