The advisory board of FAU’s School of the Arts in the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters welcomed singing star Melissa Manchester for a conversation in which the performer reminisced about an extraordinary career. Manchester signed her first publishing deal at 17 and soon was backing up Bette Midler until going solo. At the end of the evening, Manchester was presented with FAU’s Making Waves Award.
