Designing successful careers for a changing world

Our Design students learn to combine personal expression and critical thinking as they create solutions that connect industry, individuals, and institutions to specific audiences and themselves to the world.

While the past two years have certainly been challenging for our students, they have demonstrated great resilience and commitment to their studies. From online classes to virtual graduation, they overcame the obstacles of the pandemic and produced amazing design work. We are excited to be transitioning back to in-person learning and your contribution will help us do that by supporting:

  • Global field study
  • Site visits to regional and national design firms
  • Critical learning tools and equipment
  • and Scholarships, such as:
    • Art Merit Scholarship (for Design)
    • Mary Davis Gillies Johnston Endowment for Art  
    • Nancy and Ralph W. Babcock, Jr. Memorial Scholarship Design Production
    • Jackson Zechnich Memorial Scholarship

Thank you for supporting our Design students!
