Marvel's Kevin Feige Donates Generously to USC School of Cinematic Arts
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has made a significant contribution to the USC School of Cinematic Arts, establishing the Kevin FeigeDivision of Film & Television Production. This generous gift will provide future film and TV creators with a unique opportunity to learn from industry pioneers and develop their craft.
Feige, a proud USC graduate and Marvel's chief creative officer, graduated from the Division of Film & Television Production in 1995. His donation aims to honor his alma mater and support the next generation of filmmakers. Feige's passion for the school stems from its rich history and the community it fosters, which inspired him to follow in the footsteps of his heroes.
The USC division offers a comprehensive curriculum, covering various aspects of film and TV production, from directing and producing to cinematography, sound, and editing. It equips students with the skills to work with cutting-edge media platforms, technologies, and workflows.
Feige's donation is particularly timely as the industry faces rapid changes, including the impact of AI and emerging technologies.

USC Dean Elizabeth Daley praised Feige's storytelling prowess and his commitment to the school, stating that he embodies the kind of producer the School of Cinematic Arts aims to produce.
This generous gift is not Feige's first; in 2017, he established the Kevin Feige Endowed Fund for Creative Producing. His support extends beyond financial contributions, as he regularly hires USC alumni for Marvel projects, fostering a strong connection between the school and the industry.
Feige's dedication to the school and its students is an inspiration to all. As the School of Cinematic Arts approaches its centennial, the Division of Film & Television Production will carry his name, ensuring a bright future for aspiring filmmakers.
