Design and the arts have the power to change everything

In the College of Architecture, Arts, and Design, we believe that creativity lights the way forward. It helps us see the world with empathy, find beauty in complexity, and design solutions that bring people together. We are bold, compassionate, and curious, learning by making, collaborating across disciplines, and shaping ideas that make life better.

This Giving Day, you can help fuel that creative energy. 

Your gift supports the students and faculty who are reimagining what’s possible in our classrooms, studios, galleries, stages, and neighborhoods around the world.

What your support makes possible:

  • Scholarships and awards that open doors to global study, internships, residencies, and research.
  • Tools, materials, and technology that drive hands-on, innovative learning.
  • Performances and exhibitions that bring wonder and joy to campus and community.
  • Guest artists, designers, and performers who mentor and inspire our students.  

Creativity matters—especially now. Make your Giving Day gift today to the College of Architecture, Arts, and Design or to the program that inspires you most. 

Together, we’ll empower the next generation to build a better, brighter, and more human-centered world.
