Letter from the President Dear friends, Our campuses have been enlivened this fall by the largest first-year class in the college’s history—248, which is 61 more students than last year! These young and talented people have embarked on the first leg of a lifelong journey of learning, social engagement, and creative growth.

The increase in first-year enrollment is heartening to me because I believe there has never been a better, more exciting, and more relevant time to go to art school. Culture has always held an important place in our daily lives, and for more than a century now, young people have been drawn to CCA to help them become accomplished practitioners in the arts. What is new, however, is that today these young people are being asked to help solve the world’s thorniest problems—and they are responding with enthusiasm. Creative individuals trained in art, architecture, and design are finding enormous opportunities to apply their talents to social and environmental issues, frequently by teaming up with members of other skilled disciplines. We see this every day at CCA, as students participate in the Solar Decathlon, the Sustainable Cotton Project, or the Radical Jewelry Makeover (read more about these projects and others at www.cca.edu). CCA’s faculty continues to be at the forefront of these efforts, as you will read in this issue’s feature story on Jay Baldwin (page 3).

These pages also highlight many other wonderful things that are happening at the college, including the inspiring endeavors of our alumni (page 37) and faculty (page 29). We are particularly delighted to announce the successful completion of the Centennial Campaign (page 23), which raised more than $27.5 million, exceeding our original goal of $25 million. Excitingly, of the 1,000 campaign donors, more than 500 were giving for the first time. Clearly the call for support of student scholarships, facility improvements, and academic programs resonated with the community.

The founding ideals of the college—to create a place where the arts are deeply connected to social and political work—have never been more vibrantly alive.

A collective spirit of enthusiasm has defined the beginning of this academic year.

I hope that you are as excited as I am about our future.

Sincerely,

Stephen Beal

Six Decades on the Edge of Design

by Lindsey Westbrook

What is it like to finally have the world talking about the ideas you’ve spent your career struggling to put on the map? For Industrial Design professor Jay Baldwin, one of the grandfathers of sustainable and ecological design, it’s a very good thing. But luckily for CCA it doesn’t mean he’s going to retire anytime soon.

The 75-year-old Baldwin, or JB, as he is called by almost everyone he knows, became a student of Buckminster Fuller (most famous as the inventor of the geodesic dome) in 1951 after hearing Fuller deliver one of his signature 14-hour lectures. Baldwin soon became a key player himself in the field of ecological, energy-efficient design. He was on the team that developed the first exclusively solar-and wind-powered house; he was among the first editors of the nowlegendary Whole Earth Catalog and Whole Earth Review; he created pioneering outdoor recreational equipment with Bill Moss, inventor of the modern camping tent; he invented the Pillowdome to solve the geodesic dome’s persistent leakage problem; he has owned (among many other vehicles) four much-beloved Citroëns, whose design still provokes him to wax poetic; he lives in the hinterlands of Sonoma County in a converted chicken coop; and he puts 2,000 miles per year on his bicycle.

And those are just a few of his endeavors. He is admired by his peers and students for many reasons, not least of which is that, like Buckminster Fuller, he lives life as a great experiment.

“It’s always the extremists that make things happen. I consider JB an extremist of design,” says Remy Labesque, one of Baldwin’s former students who now works at frog design in San Francisco.

Baldwin also has a pretty realistic idea of the public’s attention span and knows that the fight for sustainability will be a long, slow one. The saying about 15 minutes of fame applies to concepts as much as to people, and the emergence

JB bought a “champ” Swiss Army knife in 1984 and kept track of how many times he used it. It came out to an average of 2,100 times per year, over Remy Labesque 20 years.

The way JB talks about all of his possessions is amazing. He spends so much time thinking about them, experiencing them. He could talk about his shoes for hours. As a designer it makes you think hard about your own possessions Adam Reineck and how you relate to them. of terms like “green fatigue” shows that people do lose patience with new ideas, especially ones that take time and energy and diligence to apply to everyday life. But everyone will always need things—objects will never cease to be invented and designed and manufactured—and Baldwin figures on continuing to do his part to make them well, taking into consideration not just the piece of plastic or metal but everything around it, everything that comes before and after.

“In the 1960s you’d never hear the words environment or ecology unless you were really on the ball,” Baldwin says.

But Buckminster Fuller had already been thinking in those terms for decades. “Fuller said that we should never waste anything, because wasting material is stupid, but our whole society was—and still is—grossly, distressingly wasteful in everything we do. We waste people, material, oil, effort.

“I can’t remember a time when I didn’t think in these terms. Everyone’s talking about biomimicry now, but Buckminster Fuller punched that for years and years. Nature is not ‘multidisciplinary.’ Nature is the whole caboodle.

Nature is omnidisciplinary. And we’re part of it. We need to do things as nature does, in the way that is most economical in terms of resources and energy.”

Adam Reineck, another former student, now working at IDEO, says that he is happy to finally be at a place in his career where he can incorporate Baldwin’s philosophies into his work.

“A lot of schools focus on a wallpaper aesthetic, just looking at the surfaces of things. CCA allows you to take a much more holistic approach. I went through CCA trying to center all my projects around sustainable design,

and JB always offered himself up as a walking library of knowledge, history, and insight. He’s from a different generation than most of the other teachers. In his day they really figured everything out, and they had a lot less to start with. He doesn’t draw—he makes. Because of that he has a much broader skill set.”

What distinguished Baldwin and most of the Whole Earth Catalog crew from other early environmentalists was their embrace of technology. Baldwin never resisted machines and computers and tools, and likewise he never had much interest in living off the land. “Those people found out pretty fast,” he remarks, “that going back to the land means becoming a human donkey. If you’re serious about it you have to raise your own food, make your own toothpaste, everything, and of course no one wants to do that. It’s too much work.

“I really looked into this in the 1970s when I was writing for the Whole Earth Catalog. In the 18th century, the average American woman spent about 30 percent of her waking hours making clothes and cloth. Is that what you want to do with your life? The purpose of technology should be to save us from being human donkeys, or cogs in a machine. I dedicate my design work not so much to saving people time, but to winning them back time for their own use.”

Steven Skov Holt, distinguished professor and former Industrial Design chair (also the one responsible for bringing Baldwin back into the CCA fold in 1997—Baldwin had taught here for a couple of years in the 1960s), vividly remembers the day back in the 1970s when his “cool aunt” gave him a copy of the Whole Earth Catalog. “They

JB is such a huge asset to CCA. He’s a repository of wisdom. He’s an aggregator of everything he comes across. He takes everything in and excretes knowledge. If you got everyone together in a room who’s ever taken a class from JB, you’d have a huge, amazing group of people, but JB’s time at CCA is only a small facet of everything he’s done in his life. JB’s life is huge. He is a walking monument to his own vast experience. Remy Labesque

outside, without air conditioning.

There have probably been a number of times JB has come to a fork in the road: teach and influence students, or go in a commercial direction. He has relentlessly chosen exploration over exploitation.

If JB had a blog for all his experiments, he’d be world famous.

Adam Reineck defined tools in the widest possible sense: not just tools from the hardware store, but tools for life, tools for work, tools for treading more softly on the planet. The Whole Earth Catalog is one of the great books of the 20th century.”

Baldwin consciously carries on Buckminster Fuller’s fundamental optimism and his passion for teaching; among his major writing projects has been the book Bucky Works, which translates Fuller’s ideas for students today. But he definitely isn’t interested in continuing Fuller’s massive compulsion to self-document. (Fuller’s archive, now housed at Stanford University, comprises more than 1,200 linear feet of papers.) Baldwin’s legacy will be vast, but the majority of it will not be written down; it will be knowledge passed on verbally, in the form of stories.

Labesque recalls, “I first knew I wanted to go into industrial design after a four-hour conversation with JB on the sidewalk in front of his car, when I was in CCA’s Pre-College Program. We had this really long talk about life. Whenever you talk with JB about design it ends up being this broader conversation about the world. Since then I’ve had a number of similar chats walking JB to his car. You think you’re going to be with him for five minutes, and it turns into two hours.

“JB can monologue for hours on end. A friend of mine once described him as an infinite loop of information, which you can access at any point. A never-ending spiral of stories, anecdotes, advice. It’s always hard to remember a whole JB story because the end of each one segues into the beginning of the next.”

Leslie Speer (former ID associate chair, and Baldwin’s longtime peer) calls his method of teaching traditional, cultural.

“JB teaches in an old way, meaning really old, like on the scale of millennia. He’s a storyteller. He’s not lecturing, there’s no PowerPoint. He’s telling stories based on his reallife experiences. Students may not realize until years later how much information he was revealing to them. The way he does it, they don’t feel like they’re being taught.”

“It is important to have faculty of all ages in a department,” agrees Skov Holt. “JB is old enough to be basking in the golden years of retirement, but he’s energetic enough to be one of his students.”

Baldwin is sturdily built, very tan, with very white hair.

Labesque calls him “the most spry 75-year-old I’ve ever met.

He looks like he’s 56. He’s always got a good tan.” He gives the impression of someone ready to withstand harsh sun, strong winds, driving snow. It’s easy to imagine him in his element: camping, working with tools, living in a greenhouse, building things.

In his Pre-College classroom, he climbs over and around students’ projects, occasionally getting down on his knees on the concrete floor to take a closer look at something.

Baldwin’s Pillowdome under construction, 1981. Baldwin is the one pointing. The completed structure withstood several hurricanes with no damage. Light enough for urban rooftop farming, it housed vegetable crops year-round with no need for a furnace.

Design can, and must, have a moral and political dimension. JB provides inspiration and hope for all designers.

I personally see him as a role model.

Steven Skov Holt

He is full of encouragement, praising their work, turning their cardboard maquettes around and around in his hands. He doesn’t hesitate to point out what he thinks is the most advanced project in the room, but he does it in a way that inspires, rather than intimidates. When he speaks, he speaks directly to a person, but in a voice that welcomes those nearby to listen and join in. He tells stories about tools, hammocks, freezing weather. He is offering guidance but also giving the students the freedom to experience the problems that all designers encounter when translating a concept into full scale.

“Most of these kids haven’t made anything before,” he observes. “Some of them are playing it safe. Others are going for it very aggressively. They make mistakes and need to back up, and that’s OK. They are finding out what’s inside them.

“I tell my students that this is a great time to be a designer because we are being forced, at last, to be economical and not waste. So, if our cars are inefficient, which even the Prius is, let’s quit jabbering about it and actually do something. There’s a lot for designers to do: Use less stuff, use it better, make less of a mess, don’t abuse people. That’s my meat, and I love it.”

Alumni Profiles A Tale of Two Continents: Yukiko Ogasawara Yukiko Ogasawara MFA, graduated in 2000 Born in 1961 in Tokyo Works in Tokyo, lives in Tokyo and Los Angeles Other education: BA in art, Evergreen State College Current occupation: president of the Japan Times Influences at CCA: Mary Snowden, Linda Geary, and visiting artists Martin Creed, Tom Marioni, Kara Walker, and Fred Wilson

Untitled, 2008

“Everything is everything,” says Yukiko Ogasawara, poetically, to explain how her MFA in painting from CCA informs her high-powered job as president of the Japan Times, Japan’s oldest English-language newspaper.

“Everything is borderless—it goes from one genre to the next, one discipline to another. You really have to understand yourself in order to run anything. You can’t be afraid to be critiqued, to express yourself, to approach both sides of an issue with honesty and integrity. Art school trains you for all those things, even more than business school. From my first art class it was all about breaking it down and building it back up. And that builds you up as a person. It prepared me to do this.”

Traverse, 2007

Ogasawara, who graduated in 2000, was part of the first class that moved to CCA’s new building in San Francisco and recalls feeling as though she and her fellow students were sort of “growing up” alongside the college. She was one of those who practically lived in her studio, working there all day and late into the night, savoring the art school experience.

“My favorite thing was the floor heating in my studio! It’s silly, but I loved that more than anything else in the world.”

She also adored professor Mary Snowden. “She was older, and I was a little bit older student myself, and she’s so young at heart. She always tried to engage us, and engage herself, in a language that was continuously growing and evolving.”

Ogasawara is still painting and keeps a studio in Tokyo, even though she isn’t able to devote much time to it these days. She looks forward, but patiently, to the next phase of her life when she’ll be able to get back to painting full time.

“I’m in a special situation. I have this position because I was able to come in as family. And if I’m lucky enough to have the opportunity, then I better make something out of it!” At the Japan Times she’s working on organizing and solidifying revenue streams, and at the parent company she’s heading up what she calls a “feminist women’s revolution!” running an office dedicated to advancing women employees who value their careers and want more responsibility.

Bollywood Corleone: Amrit Sagar Amrit Sagar Film/Video, graduated in 2000 Born in 1975 in Mumbai, India Lives and works in Mumbai Current occupation: film and television producer and director Website: www.sagartv.com Influences at CCA: David Heinz, Willam Farley

Film and television are in the blood of Indian producer-director Amrit Sagar. He knew at age 10 that he wanted to be a director, and CCA was the only school he applied to. “My family has been producing and directing since 1950. So you could say I joined the family business. Like Michael Corleone!”

His breakout success was Hatim, a TV series about the adventures of an Arab prince in Yemen, which catapulted him into one of the biggest production houses in India. His first movie, 1971, which he cowrote, directed, and produced, came out last year. The film’s story is fictional but based on fact, revolving around six Indian prisoners of war who escape from Pakistan and risk death on their journey home.

“When I came to CCA, I had already been an assistant director in India for three years. David Heinz, one of my professors, saw the work I’d been doing and took a personal interest in me and put me right into senior-level courses. The best class I ever had was with David. I had finished all my required film courses, and he came up with this idea where he would give me a genre and I had to make a project on it. Then we took it to the next level, where he gave me multiple genres and I had to juxtapose and weave them into a single film.”

Sagar’s favorite CCA tradition was the annual college film festival—a juried competition he recalls as “healthy” and stimulating—and he still counts among his proudest achievements winning an All-College Honor Award for one of the best films at CCA that year (its subject was intercaste marriages in India), and a national prize in which his film (about dowry deaths) was one of only seven selected out of more than 100 entries from 35 different American film schools.

Sagar is currently working on a new TV show—a spy thriller called Vijay, Desh Ki Ankhen—and two new movies: a romantic film to be shot in Italy, and an action film that will be shot in seven different locations around the world. For the latter he is collaborating with Viacom, the company that owns Paramount. In his spare moments, which are few and far between these days, he’s also working on his new (and first!) house.

Digital Master: Morgan Barnard Around the world, one million plastic bags are discarded every minute, creating literal mountains of garbage. That frightening reality inspired Morgan Barnard to create an urban design project about a world inundated with plastic.

Morgan Barnard

Barnard was one of scores of artists who participated in IntensCITY—a week dedicated to innovative urban design—last year in Wellington, New Zealand.

Operating out of a shipping container, he and a colleague improvisationally projected footage, information, and interviews to create a live montage entitled Sentimental Plastics. They also led instructional sessions on how to iron plastic bags between sheets of waxed paper to create durable cell phone cozies and reusable shopping bags.

Lives and works in Wellington, New Zealand

Barnard is a multimedia artist whose work incorporates digital cinema, experimental narrative, documentary, and custom electronics. “I’m interested in making film more of a ‘live’ experience, like it was in the early days, when musicians accompanied the action,” he says.

Other education: Interactive Telecommunications Program, New York University Current occupation: lecturer, media artist Website: www.morganbarnard.com

His penchant to innovate was fostered at CCA, where he VJed performance evenings that incorporated live music and video. By day, he benefited from the school’s progressive steps into the digital realm. “It’s impressive in retrospect,” he says, “that we had access to such new technologies and could work with them hands-on.”

After CCA Barnard became an editor and motion graphics artist in San Francisco.

In 1998 he moved to Los Angeles to join his father Michael Barnard’s (Interdisciplinary Fine Arts 1967) company, editing and directing documentaries and commercials. Among his numerous projects was Quest for Truth, about what he calls “the phenomenal works of landscape art happening in crop fields around the world.”

Then he hopped to the other coast to earn a master’s degree in 2005 at New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program . . . which snatched him up to teach after graduation. Last year he took another leap, this time to New Zealand, to become a full-time digital media design professor at Victoria University of Wellington.

Balancing teaching with his own work, Barnard will soon begin a new project with a colleague stationed on the exact opposite side of the globe in Toro, Spain.

They’ll take turns directing one another remotely as they film themselves exploring their urban environments. Barnard plans to take the digital material and edit it live in front of an audience on different nights as a unique and ever-changing cinematic experience. “It’s pretty clear that people are viewing media in ways we thought improbable 12 years ago at CCA,” he says. “I’m excited to be part of shaping the way people experience it for the next 12 years.”

Sentimental Plastics installation with “upcycled” (heatfused) plastic bags and data and video projections, Wellington, New Zealand, 2007

Keeping the CCA Flame Burning in Seoul Seoul has become something of a home away from home for numerous CCAers. In cyberspace and, occasionally, on terra firma, about 150 Korean alumni, students, and prospective students meet, mingle, and network in what has become the CCA Korean Alumni Group.

While giving members the opportunity to reminisce about the thrill of artistic victory and the agony of critique, the club also introduces the school to newly accepted students, offering them a way to meet classmates before they hit the California coast. As of fall 2008 CCA has 29 Korean students, who comprise more than a quarter of the college’s international student population.

Last year, in honor of CCA’s centennial, the club hosted a special evening event for Korean alumni at Minjoo Kang’s (Ceramics 2002) wine and coffee house. Graduates, prospective students, parents of students, and Korean faculty from the likes of Seoul National University and Samsung Art and Design Institute attended the gala along with Stephen Beal, then CCA’s provost (now president), and Michele Rabin, director of international student affairs.

“I love to see everyone doing so well at their work,” says member Sunghwan Moon (Film/Video 2003). “Just as fellow students were always my greatest teachers, keeping me alert and awake at school, they continue to inspire me to work harder.” Moon is now an editor at the Korean animation studio DigiArt; his latest project was Garfield: Pet Force.

Jeesun (Arys) Hur (Interior Architecture 1997) was working for an interior design firm in Tokyo and had already shown a clear passion for the field before she managed to convince her parents that CCA would be a good move. They reluctantly gave her permission to go to school so far from home. Now she’s the CEO of her own firm, ArysArchiDesign, based in Seoul, with clients as far-flung as Japan and Africa. “The group allows me to meet those I didn’t know while I was in school, and reconnect with others I rarely get to see now,” she says. “Whenever CCA alumni happen to pass through Seoul, we gather to eat, drink, and enjoy a nightlong chat.

Staying connected allows us to talk about what we’re doing in art and art-related fields, and helps keep us excited and focused.”

A few months ago, Yunjung Kil (Interior Architecture 1997) participated in CCA’s orientation for new Korean students in Seoul under the auspices of the group. “I had the chance to tell students about my career and work, which was fun for me and, I hope, meaningful for them,” says Kil, whose interior design firm, GIL Design Inc., is branching out into environmental design.

Meanwhile, in and around freelancing as a fashion designer (she has designed uniforms for past Korean Olympic competitors, among other high-profile projects), lecturing at universities, and earning a PhD in clothing and textiles, current club president Sooah Choi (Fashion Design 1998) has big hopes for the future. “I want us to hold alumni group exhibitions with various media and majors represented,” she says. She invites anyone interested in finding out more about the Korean Alumni Group to visit ccac.cyworld.com, where an account can also be opened in English.

CCA’s booth at ICFF, New York, 2008

CCA was one of just four design schools selected to exhibit student work at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York in 2008. The projects were featured in the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, and I.D. magazine. The Furniture Program displayed the outcomes of the Bevara Design House / Walmart.com sponsored studio, which addressed a “sustainable design for mass production” theme. The Industrial Design, Glass, and Ceramics programs were represented by several products for the home, from cocktail sets to kitchen sinks, made using real-world production techniques such as blow-molded glass and slip-cast ceramics.

Congratulations to Christine Miller Kelly (Industrial Design 2007) for winning second place in the 2008 Dyson Eye for Why competition. Her winning entry was the Flux breast pump, her CCA senior thesis project. She placed in the same competition three years ago with her Acorn coffee grinder.

Gabe Lam (Industrial Design 2008) won the prestigious Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA)—Western District student merit award in 2008 for his Miranda device, a recording unit that registers video, audio, motion, impact, location, and other data to protect both protesters and police. The IDSA lauded the project’s unique combination of research, social engagement, aesthetic sensitivity, and thoughtfulness.

The highly acclaimed Los Angeles–based artist Paul McCarthy returns this spring with the second half of his two-part exhibition, this time focusing on the 1970s.

That era witnessed the rise of radical political organizations and artist collectives motivated by a convergence of the political and the aesthetic; the show reflects that wave of alternative performance practices, Conceptual art, and video art.

As before, McCarthy conceives the entire framework for the exhibition, from the checklist, design, and installation to the accompanying catalog and public programs, creating a “total artwork” that offers a new perspective on his own oeuvre and creative philosophy.

Featured artists will include established figures such as Jeff Koons and Chris Burden, more obscure artists such as Howard Fried and Peter Kubelka, and radical political groups and artist collectives such as the Move and General Idea. The presentation will encompass a wide range of artworks and artifacts, from sculpture to painting, photography, installation art, books, magazines, and archival material. It will also include reproductions of artworks that no longer exist, that are unavailable for public showing, or that McCarthy only ever encountered as reproductions.

Americana: 50 States, 50 Months, 50 Exhibitions (through May 31, 2012)

Meet CCA’s New President

by Chris Bliss Stephen Beal, CCA’s provost for the past 11 years, took the helm as the college’s ninth president on May 1, 2008.

Since he came on board as provost in 1997, overall enrollment increased by 50 percent, 10 new academic programs were added, more than 30 new full-time tenure-track faculty members were hired, and the college made significant improvements to both campuses. The many new facilities included a student residence building in Oakland and the Graduate Center in San Francisco.

Beal came to CCA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he was a member of the painting faculty and served as vice president of academic planning and associate vice president of academic affairs. He is a practicing artist, and his work has been exhibited in the Bay Area, Chicago, and throughout the Midwest. He serves on the board of Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, and he is board president of the internationally renowned Creative Growth Art Center in Oakland.

I was surrounded for the fi rst time by people who shared my passion for art. We were interested in the ways art practice could help defi ne our relationship with the rapidly changing world. It was during the Vietnam War and we were all politically active—creating antiwar posters, organizing protests, playing music—exploring how art might affect the course of current events.

CB: How does that compare to the educational experience CCA students have today?

SB: Art school continues to be an exciting choice for those who want to have a positive impact on the world. In many respects, I believe an art school education today is more focused, empowering, and relevant than ever. Young artists, designers, and architects, often working collaboratively, can bring creative energy to solving the problems that face us today—issues around social justice and community empowerment, and environmental concerns such as global warming and sustainability. CCA students and faculty are at the forefront of these activities.

A new strategic planning process has begun this fall, and that gives us an exciting opportunity to engage alumni, students, faculty, trustees, and staff in charting the college’s future. Completing the WASC accreditation process, improving our facilities, fundraising for scholarships and other key programs—there’s a lot to do! Ultimately my top priority will always be creating and supporting an exceptional learning experience for our students.

CCA will remain one of the leading art schools in the 21st century.

School News Faculty Emeriti Stephen Goldstine came to CCA in 1987 and taught, mentored, and helped launch hundreds of artists into creative practices. During his tenure, our MFA students were selected for Whitney Biennials, SFMOMA SECA Art Awards, Murphy and Cadogan Fellowships, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture residencies, Headlands Center for the Arts residencies, Fleishhacker Foundation Eureka Fellowships, Artadia awards, and Djerassi residencies.

Goldstine was such a successful mentor largely because he was constantly available on campus and by phone for informal discussions with students. He absorbed this Socratic method during his own years as a student under Ansel Adams, Minor White, Imogen Cunningham, and Edward Weston. He has entertained many with his amazing recall of people, places, and events as well as his huge knowledge of art, architecture, design, dance, and music. Several of his fellow faculty members have observed that, as they encounter our alumni around the country and the world, almost all of them mention Goldstine as one of the primary reasons they chose CCA and had a truly excellent experience here.

Portrait of Stephen Goldstine by Imogen Cunningham, July 1952, when he was working as her studio assistant

Doug Akagi started teaching here in 1984, when the Graphic Design Program was relatively small and housed in temporary quarters above the art supply store on Broadway in Oakland. Since then it has grown by leaps and bounds, both in size and in international prominence, due in significant part to Akagi’s many contributions. He has taught courses at every level, most notably Sputnik (our award-winning in-house internship program, which flowered under his leadership) and Transitioning to Professional Practice. His consistently stellar course evaluations reveal how deeply his students will miss him. He will also be missed by his fellow faculty (he was never absent from a faculty meeting in all his time at the college!).

Akagi was a cofounder, past officer, and member of the board of directors of the San Francisco chapter of the American Institute of Graphic Arts. Concurrently with his teaching career he has maintained his own design firm, named Alterpop in its current incarnation, whose work has won more than 150 important awards and has been featured in every industry publication.

New Trustee Our most recently appointed trustee, Julz Chavez, received her BFA in Illustration from CCA in 1984 and has been a professional toy developer for more than 20 years. She has worked as a toy creator and designer for Mattel and Sega, and in 2000 she launched Get Real Girl, a San Francisco–based startup, producing a line of dolls aimed at girls aged six to 12. The dolls are inspired by sports, adventure, and careers, with very un-Barbie-like figures! Chavez believes in “designing and developing with responsibility,” since toys make such a huge difference in children’s lives. Currently she is the founder and principal of Out of My Mind Productions, where her responsibilities include creative development, writing, and producing a range of feature film, television, and Internet properties as well as brand merchandise for the global market.

Chavez is a cousin of the celebrated labor activist César Chávez. She has appeared on Oprah and in numerous newspaper and magazine articles. She has won the Entertainment Industries Council Award and is currently a nominating panelist for the PRISM Awards. She will provide invaluable representation for our board in Los Angeles, assisting the college on several fronts. Excitingly, she is interested in helping to develop new courses in brand and entertainment design.

CCA is proud to announce the successful completion of the Centennial Campaign, with just over $27.5 million raised. Thanks to the tremendous generosity of 1,000 campaign donors, the college exceeded its original goal of $25 million. This has been the most ambitious fundraising effort in the college’s history, providing vital revenue for student scholarships, academic programs, and facility improvements.

This special effort began in 2004, when CCA realized it needed to enhance student aid, classrooms, studios, and curricular offerings to sustain its ranking as one of the best art schools in the country. Despite enrollment growth, tuition revenue alone could not meet these needs. Donations were required to fill the gap.

The Board of Trustees launched a multiyear capital campaign to run concurrently with the celebration of CCA’s centennial. Alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends joined forces with the trustees to make the campaign a success. Together they raised an unprecedented amount of money and in the process built the largest donor community in the school’s history. Donations ranged from $50 to $5 million.

Centennial Campaign Chair Judy Timken led the way. Reflecting on what was achieved, Timken says, “I want to extend CCA’s warmest thanks to every donor who made a gift. This campaign represents a generous expression of support for CCA’s future and the vitality of its mission. It transformed the school, not just with new studios and scholarships, but also with the emergence of a broad group of new donors.”

President Stephen Beal says, “Everyone at CCA is grateful to Judy for devoting herself to four years of nonstop campaigning and cheerleading on behalf of our college. We never could have reached our goal without her generosity and encouragement. She and Board Chair Ann Hatch were remarkable in their dedication to the cause.” Timken was supported by an enthusiastic and skilled Centennial Campaign Committee that included trustees Simon Blattner, Tecoah Bruce, Diane Christensen, Ann Hatch, and Lorna Meyer.

Matching Gift Challenges Two important campaign milestones came in the form of matching grants that inspired hundreds of new donors to join the effort. In June 2007, an extraordinary challenge gift came from trustee Barclay Simpson, who promised to contribute an additional $1.85 million to the campaign (Mr. Simpson had already given a major leadership gift to launch the effort in 2004) if CCA could raise $3.7 million in new gifts to match it. CCA met his challenge in full in April 2008. CCA extends special thanks to trustee Byron Kuth and his wife, Elizabeth Ranieri, for giving the capstone gift to this special challenge match.

The second important challenge came from philanthropist Gene Savin. He pledged a $500,000 grant from the Savin Foundation to create an endowed Community Arts Program scholarship if the college could find 500 brand-new donors to give at least $50 each. After six months of reaching out to alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends who had never given before, the 500th matching donor was secured in January 2008. The 500 Savin Foundation matching donors gave a total of more than $630,000 to the campaign.

The success of the $27.5 million Centennial Campaign is due in large part to both the number of alumni who participated and the exceptional generosity of our Board of Trustees. Alumni gave 58 percent of the total number of gifts, and trustees gave 67 percent of the total dollars. Both groups were essential to the success of the two challenges and the entire campaign.

24

Scholarships CCA now has 27.5 million reasons to celebrate. Every dollar has already been put to use and is making a difference for our 1,740 students and 450 faculty members. More than $2.8 million in campaign gifts have been added to existing scholarship funds, and an additional $2 million has been allocated to create 24 new endowed scholarships. This represents a 50 percent increase in available endowed scholarship funds.

New Programs The Centennial Campaign also provided critical support for the launch of three exciting new degree programs that strategically enhance academic resources for all students: MBA in Design Strategy: In fall 2008 CCA welcomed the first class of 26 students in this groundbreaking program that unites the studies of design, finance, and organizational management, offering tools and strategies to address today’s complex, interconnected market. Students develop individual and team solutions to a variety of economic and social challenges using design techniques (such as user-centered research, prototyping, critique, and iteration) as well as business metrics. To offer maximum flexibility to working professionals, the program is conducted through five once-a-month, four-day weekends of instruction and interaction, with online and networked study between these residencies. Program chair Nathan Shedroff is one of the pioneers of experience-based design.

Graduate Program in Design: In 2006 the renowned designer, researcher, and author Brenda Laurel was appointed chair of the Graduate Program in Design. Laurel introduced a new curriculum that includes discipline-based “tracks” in communication design, industrial design, and interaction design. All students in the program take courses addressing theory and criticism, research, materials, tools, processes, and entrepreneurship, and they explore transdisciplinary collaborations through special project studios.

Animation Program: In fall 2007 CCA launched the undergraduate Animation Program, chaired by Andrew Lyndon of Pixar Animation Studios. Students acquire conceptual and technical skills in cinema-based character and experimental animation, film production, interactive media, motion graphics, narrative storytelling, and video, working in both traditional and digital media.

Facilities First-rate facilities go hand in hand with scholarships and programs in supporting CCA’s ability to attract top students and offer them the best possible educational experience. With funding from the Centennial Campaign, the college undertook a series of facility improvement projects. These included: • completion of the new Graduate Center, where all MFA, Visual Studies, and Curatorial Practice students can work and learn in a facility designed specifically for their needs • construction of the Carmen M. Christensen Production Stage and new editing studios to accommodate an expanded undergraduate Media Arts Program • renovation of studios for the growing Master of Architecture Program and construction of graduate design studios • purchase and renovation of a new Student and Faculty Service Center, where support services will be centralized For those who value the role of artists, architects, designers, writers, and scholars in shaping our future, the Centennial Campaign was an opportunity to support the college’s dynamic vision. CCA thanks all the donors to the campaign for their investment in future generations of creative leaders and in an educational institution that enriches creative practice worldwide.

Donald Fortescue and Lawrence La Bianca, Sounding, 2008 This collaborative artwork featured in Bay Area Now 5 (at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts) is inspired by Herman Melville’s MobyDick. Furniture faculty members Donald Fortescue and Lawrence La Bianca share a long-standing affection for the book’s detailed evocation of antiquated crafts, powerful tales of struggle at sea, and perennially relevant dissection of monomania. They filled the table with beach pebbles from the black sand beaches of Marin and then immersed it in Tomales Bay for a month to accumulate living oceanic organisms.

Alumni Association Update Greetings from Lindsey Lyons (alumni relations associate), Amie Spitler (new Alumni Council president), and the Alumni Association!

Since beginning my role as alumni relations associate in January, I’ve been honored to meet many of you at our Bay Area critique groups, the Career Expo, happy hour get-togethers, taco truck events for students, and via email as you send in your stories from around the world. Thank you all for keeping in touch.

Hopefully since the summer you’ve been getting the new alumni email updates. You should also have received an alumni brochure and a new membership card in August. I encourage all 14,000 (!) of you to utilize the online alumni directory (www.cca.edu/alumni/directory) to track down fellow CCA grads in your area and get together! And you are always welcome to contact me at llyons@cca.edu. Alumni Relations Director Jessica Russell is currently on maternity leave, but we look forward to her return in early 2009.

I’d like to welcome Amie Spitler (Interior Design 2003), our new Alumni Council president. Amie has already launched some great new programs, including the first alumni book club, and she has many other interesting ideas brewing. Amie is originally from Lawrence, Kansas, and is currently attending John F. Kennedy University for an MFA in studio art with an emphasis on civic engagement.

Lindsey Lyons Alumni Relations Associate

Hello!

I am very much looking forward to my term as Alumni Council president. CCA’s centennial celebration last year gave me a new attachment to, and sense of pride in, our college. More than anything it made me conscious of how large the CCA community is, and of how this is the perfect time to take the momentum of the reunion and direct it into the Alumni Association. By working together we can build a place for partnership and a wide network of contacts that will serve alumni today and inspire alumni of the future.

My first exposure to CCA was in 1998, through the Pre-College Program for high school students. As an undergrad I lived in the residence hall and was resident advisor for two years; I also served as Student Council president for two years. I am excited about this new phase of my involvement with CCA and am looking forward to working with you. Please contact me at aspitler@cca.edu to get in touch, share your ideas, and get involved!

Former trustee Sausalito, California February 2, 2008

NORMA SCHLESINGER, one of CCA’s longest-serving trustees and an active museum patron and philanthropist, passed away on May 25, 2008, of cancer. She had served on our board since 1987. Her keen interest in and passion for the academic side of the institution were reflected by her service on the Academic Committee, which was continuous since her appointment. She also served on the Committee on Trustees and the Advancement Committee.

Schlesinger supported the college’s advancement efforts on numerous occasions. She had a great sense of how to position the college to its best advantage and raise its profile in the community. She often hosted events at her home and enthusiastically introduced CCA faculty to her circle of friends. Michael McClure, the widely known poet (and CCA professor emeritus) wrote a poem for her entitled “Moment’s Muse.”

passed away on May 14, 2008, of cancer, just a few days after being named CCA professor emeritus. He received his BFA from CCA in 1961 and taught at the college for 41 years, beginning in 1967.

STEVE REOUTT

Reoutt was deeply interested in the history of graphic design. His collection of Bay Area design was larger even than SFMOMA’s, and he contributed extensively to CCA’s archives, providing crucial course material and information about the history of the field. He conducted oral histories with most of the major local figures in contemporary design, and he was a cofounder of the AIGA-SF. Fellow Graphic Design faculty member Cinthia Wen still vividly recalls a remark Reoutt made when she was a student in his class 20 years ago: “Nothing is original, but what you do as a designer can make something that already exists fresh, new, and exciting again.”

CCA has created a named scholarship in Steve Reoutt’s memory. Tax-deductible donations can be sent to CCA / Steve Reoutt Scholarship c/o Camille Gerstel, Advancement California College of the Arts 5212 Broadway Oakland CA 94618-1426 Please make checks payable to CCA and note that the gift is for the Steve Reoutt Scholarship.
