Dear Colleagues,

Just a short update on the Foundations and First Year program-

We had a very productive year in the Foundations program and I would like to make you aware of a few of our highlights and also put some items on your radar for the future.

Community:

This past Fall we had our first annual Beaux Arts Ball which involved almost all First Year Design students in a unified project creating wearable outfits entirely out of paper and sheet material all based on research they did involving art history. This was the first time in ten years that a freshman project of this kind was attempted. The response was very positive and a great amount of interest was generated. We have already planned our second event for October 2017 and we would love to get your support behind the project and invite you to attend. read more

Minding the Gap:

an exhibition on research & creativity in CAD

The University Gallery

Opening Reception  Friday, March 24  from 5:00 until 7:00 PM  

This exhibition is intended to demonstrate how creativity and technology converge to explore areas of inquiry, solve problems and answer research questions across the college. Each of the six schools in CAD is represented by one faculty member, one undergraduate student or class project, and one graduate student.

At our CAD Undergraduate Program Chair meeting on September 6th, Leah Bradley, Assistant Director of Educational Effectiveness Assessment at RIT presented an update on Learning Outcomes Assessment in CAD. Please note that this year’s Progress Report will happen earlier this year. Progress Report #7 kicks off October 3rd and closes December 15th, so keep an eye out for emails from the newly renamed office of Educational Effectiveness Assessment (previously the office of Student Learning Outcomes Assessment). read more
