Support the College of Architecture and Environmental Design
Dear Alumni and Friends,
What a period in the life of the College of Architecture and Environmental Design at С»ÆƬÊÓƵ. Interior Design and Architecture are now ranked top in Ohio and 13th and 16th nationally for Programs Firms Want to Hire From by Design Intelligence, and Construction Management students scored their third student competition win in Cincinnati! We are now in our second year of the two- and three-year Master of Architecture programs and launched a new Master of Science in Construction Management. Graduate program enrollment continues to grow as we attract and hire exceptional new full-time faculty members through international searches.
Our students have been exploring the world and benefitting from hands-on, experiential learning in places like Florence, Sao Paolo, Curitiba, Beirut, Medellin, Toronto, Chicago, D.C., Boston, Los Angeles and New York. These student opportunities have helped elevate the CAED from regional significance to national prominence, building our programs and reputation as a premier design and construction college.
Because of your support our students can engage in transformative educational opportunities and develop valuable research skills. Your generosity also helps us engage visiting professors, create an exceptional lecture and exhibition series, and support national and international travel that complements the curricular core at one of the lowest price points nationally. No matter how you choose to give or at what level, you will directly transform the experience of our students and faculty.
As Dean of the College of Architecture and Environmental Design, I am honored to be part of this exceptional university and in awe of our faculty and staff, students, alumni and friends. Your support enables us to set and reach aspirational goals that set our graduates apart. Your contributions go to a college that is dedicated to the education of professionals who will design and build a better future for us all.
