Irvine Valley College will receive a $250,000 donation to enhance its music program.

The pledge comes from resident and retired CPA Masoud Rezanoor, whose daughter graduated from the community college in 2000.

IVC will name the main stage of its Performing Arts Center the Rezanoor Stage.

“Irvine Valley College means so much to the community,” Rezanoor says. “Over the years, IVC has provided so much for my family and me. This is our way to reciprocate as well as to leave a legacy of our own.”

IVC will use the fund to establish an endowment that enables the Department of Music to bring in guest artists, performers and lecturers.
