Here For Change: Campaign Impact
Thanks to you—our dedicated community of donors, alumni, partners, and friends—CCAD reached an extraordinary milestone in 2025. With the successful close of Here for Change: A Campaign for The CCAD Way, our community exceeded its most ambitious fundraising goal in college history—raising more than $25 million for students, faculty, and campus transformation.
The Here for Change campaign supports three important pillars:
-
Student Scholarships
Here for creative minds. Together, we are expanding merit- and need-based scholarships, ensuring access to a world-class education regardless of financial background.
-
Faculty Excellence
Here for excellence. Together, we are creating endowed faculty positions and advancing student success initiatives that foster career readiness and lifelong impact.
-
Campus Enhancements
Here for the future of our campus. Together, we are updating technology and revitalizing spaces designed to inspire collaboration, fuel innovation, and strengthen CCAD’s role as a hub for creativity in Central Ohio.
