Support the College of Design
One key to the college achieving its full potential is the growth of our unrestricted funds, which provide critical discretionary funding that the college’s leadership team can channel to strategic priority areas as needs and opportunities arise.
You can learn more about the current priority pillars for the college, and we hope you’ll join us in this important step toward the college’s future.
Giving Priorities
As we educate the next generation of talented designers and bring together researchers, scholars and practitioners for the public good, support from alumni and friends who share our vision is vital.
