Arts & Letters Hall of Fame
Since its inception in 1894, Culver has been blessed with a long line of alumni, alumna, faculty, staff and patrons who have distinguished themselves in the Arts and Letters. We seek to pay special tribute to those who have made unusually significant contributions at Culver, and beyond, by establishing the Culver Academies Arts and Letters Hall of Fame.
