The purpose of the Dean’s Council is to create a more engaged and robust alumni connection to the College. The Council is being expanded this year to include representation from every graduating class in each of the core disciplinary areas: architecture, interior design, industrial design and digital design.

Council members serve as a conduit to other members of their graduating class, aid recruitment efforts, create networking opportunities for alumni, and assist in fundraising.  Members meet twice annually – at a reception in the fall and at Design Showcase in the spring. The Showcase is the College’s major fundraising and networking event and is organized by members of the Dean’s Council.
