Harmony and Horizons

In November, the DCC Foundation and the DCC Academy of Music harmonize to put on a fundraiser at Millbrook Vineyards and Winery. Enjoy performances by talented students and alumni, a lively raffle and a selection of wine and appetizers, all in support of scholarships and arts programs. 

Craft Fair

Each year, DCC hosts a Craft Fair with more than 100 artists on the weekend following Thanksgiving. The Fair has become a much-anticipated event as it allows people to get a head start on their holiday shopping by purchasing one-of-a-kind gifts.

Lecture Series

Endowed Chair awards offer select faculty members the chance to bring educational programming to campus. Among the speakers have been authors, television commentators and even a Nobel Prize-winner.
