Center for Performing Arts Named in Honor of Former °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¼Ç¼ President Alvin Goldfarb

Dr. Goldfarb left an indelible mark on Macomb and Western. Beyond his art, beyond his leadership, and beyond his courage and determination, it is his passion and dedication to his students, and the people around him, that makes him exceptional. Humanity, empathy and the will to get it done; that's what went into his vision for then the performing arts center and now the Goldfarb Center for Performing Arts.
