Cal State Long Beach received the largest donation in University history of $16.4 million from Bob Cole Trust to provide scholarships for student musicians, said Toni Beron of CSULB news and events.
"In establishing the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music, we are doing more than recognizing a man for his extraordinary generosity to our university," said CSULB President F. King Alexander. "This conservatory will forever honor a Long Beach man who looked to the promising futures of students at our university and wanted to help them succeed."
My Thoughts:
I think that this donation will have a great impact on up and coming musicians and it will create more opportunities for them. It would be nice to have more individuals willing give from their hearts to art students who dedicate so much time to their work.

I also think this is excellent because I know a lot of people who think that majoring in Music is a waste of time. They also don't have any type of musical background. Do you think music majors are wasting there time?
I don't think music major's are wasting their time at all. People that major in music or even create music outside of school have a special talent and I think that a career that involves a talent that a person has is great. http://karl.papubs.csulb.edu/news-events/story.cfm?hackid=929
