Alumni and Friends

We are more than just the students and faculty currently engaged at the College. The College of Design boasts over 6,000 alumni around the world who have taken design into their work and home lives. The number of design enthusiasts from the public and private sectors has grown as well. Together, they complete the College of Design Community.

The College's External Relations Office is the primary source of information for alumni, friends, professional organizations, and the general public about current developments and giving opportunities at the College. It provides this information through a variety of publications, news releases, online resources and person-to-person situations.

The External Relations Office raises financial resources to enhance the College and meet a variety of needs, including scholarships. Support from individuals, foundations and corporations strengthens the quality of the educational experience at the College of Design.

The office also serves as a resource to alumni and design professionals throughout their careers, offering opportunities for continuing education, networking, and talent recruitment.
