Posted May 18, 2026 in Articles

For over a decade, Radiance has been one of the nights when the why of the work of the Cleveland State University Foundation becomes clear. It's not as though the focus is ever lost; it's that Radiance brings it sharply into view.

We honored two of our biggest supporters, Tom Hopkins and Steve Percy, with the President's Medal, watch two dazzling performances by students from the School of Music and the Music Therapy program in the College of Health and heard from five CSU students who shared moving accounts of their ambitions, their hopes and why donors matter.
