A Culture of Discovery in the School of the Arts and Communication

Overview

Meet us at the intersection of creativity, drive, innovation, and technology, where new ideas originate that embrace the present while respecting the past. This is the birthplace of transformational expression, greater human connection, and unexpected career paths—all grounded in a highly esteemed, rigorous liberal arts education. We are all storytellers, creating and maintaining a culture.

Collaborators Welcome Join our deeply cooperative, relentlessly curious community. Get inspired to solve meaningful problems with provocative solutions. You’ll work across departments, neighborhoods and sometimes nations, trying out new ideas while solidifying a practical academic foundation.
