The Clive Davis Institute thanks Maggie Rogers (Class of 2016) for her generosity + gift of scholarship. Maggie launched The Maggie Rogers Foundation as a philanthropic platform, debuting The Maggie Rogers Endowed Scholarship Fund at @nyuniversity as its first initiative. 🎓
Dear Greater CDI Community,
Yesterday, at one of NY's most beautiful houses of worship, Central Synagogue, Mr. Davis' life was celebrated in a service officiated by Rabbi Angela Buchdahl. It was a most fitting tribute that moved everyone present.
...in the arts, social causes, education, and research will continue to be a lasting influence for generations to come. His legacy will live on at the Institute that bears his name.
Respectfully, Nick Sansano, Chair

Patti Smith remembers Clive Davis:
"This is thanking Clive Davis for transforming music, and on a very personal note, for believing in me, shepherding my efforts and a half century of your love and support."
Carlos Santana on Clive Davis:
"Clive understood that music is more than entertainment.. Music is a healing force. It brings people together beyond fear, beyond separation, beyond borders."
The record executive Clive Davis, who died this week, famously knew exactly what the public wanted. But he was equally talented at giving music’s most ambitious artists what they really craved, @skornhaber argues: https://t.co/PcZoAUQYc7
“My heart is heavy with the loss of my friend Clive Davis.
For fifty years we worked together, created together, argued together, and celebrated together.
Yes, some would say it was business.
But to Clive, it never was.
It was family.
And I was honored to be a part of his.
Thank you Clive.
I wish we could do it all again.”
