At commencement, we remind our graduating students that they are forever a part of the College of Design community. As life members of this community they define the College in a very special way. These are individuals who are good people, good citizens and good design professionals. They are individuals who have maintained a passion for design and larger issues related to design perspective of life. They are individuals who have taken abstract principles into practice.
