Daniel Dickerson '99 and Marie Allain Dickerson '99 are making a lasting impact on graduate education through the Chick-fil-A Graduate Leadership Scholarship, established in 2020 to support master's degree candidates at the College. This year's recipients, Carmen "Kit" Lowery '26 (MPA) and Shelby Allen '25 (MBA '26), have used the scholarship to pursue leadership opportunities, internships, and real-world experiences shaping their careers in public service and marketing. The Dickersons' ongoing generosity is helping students overcome financial barriers and turn their academic and professional goals into reality.

Hirona Matsuda ’07 is a local artist and the Director of Merchandising at Artist & Craftsman Supply in downtown Charleston. While at the College, she earned her BA in anthropology and art and joined the store as a part-time employee while studying sculpture, noting that “a huge part of my art education actually came from working at the store because you’re constantly talking to professional artists about what they’re doing in the studio.” The company was founded in Maine by a ceramic artist. Artist & Craftsman Supply has grown into one of the largest independent art supply retailers, with stores largely operated by working artists and focused on strong relationships with the creative community, including schools and organizations such as the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art. In her role, Ms. Matsuda is committed to continuing that emphasis on connection and community building.
