“There has never been a more important time to support art and design students. The world needs creative problem solvers, inclusive designers, and people who bring beauty into the world in all its forms. CCS students are advancing the cutting edge — they are not satisfied just to be on it. They are developing products, ideas and processes that will serve the public good. Your support of our students now will have an enduring impact on their lives and on the communities in which they live and work for many years to come.”
Don Tuski, Ph.D. President College for Creative Studies
