As a college community, we strive to ensure our campus is a welcoming and safe environment
for our students, employees, and guests. When you visit campus, you should expect
to be greeted by KCAD staff or security and asked to sign in. As an alumnus, you will
be offered the opportunity to update your contact information. KCAD staff or security
will then provide you with a guest pass and help direct you.
Alumni are encouraged to visit campus when connecting with faculty and programs, to
check out the latest exhibitions, utilize the Kendall Library and Dow Center FlexLab,
and attend events. Alumni and guests will not be provided access to any labs, shops,
or studios on campus unless they are working as a KCAD visiting artist or designer.
KCAD labs, shops, and studios are for current student and employee use only.

With your help, we can continue moving toward our goal to make KCAD accessible for
all by increasing the number of donor-supported scholarships available to our students.
If you've been considering giving the gift of scholarship, now is the perfect time
to get involved: through June of 2023, all gifts to the KCAD General Scholarship Fund will be matched
dollar-per-dollar through theFerris Futures Scholarship Challenge, doubling your support.
We love to share stories about how our students, alumni, faculty and staff are moving
the needle. Please take a moment and tell us yours by filling out the KCAD News submission form!
