Creative Drive Comprehensive Campaign
CCAD is at a breakthrough point in its 130-year history of educating professional designers and artists for the business, industrial, and cultural sectors of our economy. Form. Balance. Value.—CCAD’s Creative Drive a $12-million comprehensive campaign, is powering that breakthrough by upgrading facilities and fortifying endowments at one of the nation’s oldest and largest art and design colleges.
Raising capital funds of $8.8 million enables CCAD to renovate our new Design Studios on Broad— a transformational facilities advance that will immeasurably improve not only the education of current students, but also the college’s ability to recruit the best students and faculty going forward. New endowment funds of $3.2 million will significantly support student scholarships and need-based grants, provide resources for off-campus study, and strengthen faculty through professional development.
