Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios and chief creative officer at Marvel, has donated a “transformational gift” to the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts, according to a release from the institution. The endowment establishes the Kevin Feige Division of Film & Television and will be a source of funding for faculty, students with additional programmatic support.
The Kevin Feige Division of Film & Television will offer students the opportunity to receive training in filmmaking across multiple mediums such as traditional filmmaking principles to the rising industry practices, including virtual production, AI, and other tools.
“Kevin Feige is above all a remarkable storyteller who brings innovative and impactful cinema to our screens epitomizing the kind of film producer the School of Cinematic Arts strives to graduate,” said Elizabeth Daley, Dean of the School of Cinematic Arts, in the release. “He has also been a steadfast supporter of the School and its students. In every way he is an inspiration, and we are delighted as the School nears its centennial that the Division of Film & Television Production will carry his name into its next century.”

“USC’s School of Cinematic Arts is the original film school, a historic institution founded by cinema pioneers. It’s where everything began for me as a producer, following in the footsteps of my heroes and walking the same halls as the storied alumni who came before me,” said Feige. “That nearly 100-year legacy, and the community that defines USC, are why I’ve stayed so connected to the school and why I’m so passionate about supporting the next generation of filmmakers.”
