Christopher Whittey became CIA’s vice president of academic and faculty affairs effective August 1, 2011. “Chris brings a dynamic resume of thought leadership in both academic administration and fine arts,” said CIA President Grafton J. Nunes. “At this important time of growth at the college, I am confident Chris will be a key factor in strengthening our core academic areas and building our national and international reach.” Whittey came to CIA from the Maine College of Art where he served as vice president for academic affairs and dean since 2009. Prior to that, he served as dean for academic services and a faculty member at the Maryland Institute College of Art. After a comprehensive international search, his appointment was unanimously approved by a search committee of CIA’s faculty, key staff, and board members. A practicing artist, Whittey received a master of fine arts degree from Rhode Island School of Design and a bachelor of fine arts degree in painting from Wayne State University. He also studied at Harvard Institute for Higher Education and the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program.

Carlita Alexander ’03 Designs a New York City Career Carlita Alexander ’03 is an interior designer at Josh Held Design in New York City.

Photography Exposes ’09 Grads to Norwegian Glacier Adventure Photographer Jerry Birchfield ’09 has a fascination with glaciers — not just as breathtaking natural phenomena, but also as a metaphor he is exploring in his artwork. Thanks to a 2009 First Agnes Gund Traveling Scholarship and a 2011 Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award, Birchfield traveled to Norway this summer to photograph Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier in continental Europe. “The glacier became an icon for me, a metaphor for how belief systems are formed in a culture,” Birchfield said. In a nutshell, glaciers gradually yet dramatically change the environment just as the environment is gradually changing glaciers. Birchfield — who continues to create and exhibit artwork, balancing this with work in commercial photography — will produce a series of large-format photographs featuring glaciers “as image and metaphor, as entrance to a discussion regarding learned cultural beliefs.” Apart from forming the basis of future artwork, his Norway photographs will be mementos of one fabulous trip. Birchfield traveled with his wife, industrial designer Jessica (Jurca) Birchfield ’09 (pictured below with Birchfield). “With Jessie’s interest in design, it was fantastic for her. Art and design are everywhere in Norwegian culture. We visited a design exhibition in Oslo and she got to speak to design students we met,” Birchfield said. After a few days in Oslo, the couple traveled by train, boat, taxi, and then rented a car to Jostedal, the village at the foot of the glacier. Every day for a week, they would hike through the woods to the foot of the glacier to photograph. One day, with a professional guide, they hiked on top of the glacier, carefully avoiding perilous crevasses. “It was amazing. I’ve been exposed to a lot of things I wouldn’t have if my photos hadn’t taken me there. I’m extremely grateful to CIA for providing the traveling scholarship opportunity and for preparing me very well for a career as an artist,” Birchfield said.

Dear Alumni and Friends of CIA: What a generous welcome I have received from the creative people who make up this diverse CIA community since I took office in June as director of annual giving and alumni relations. I look forward to meeting many more of you in the coming months, at Cinematheque films, exhibition openings, alumni and donor receptions, and other gatherings. I came to CIA from the Free Medical Clinic of Greater Cleveland where I was development manager for more than three years. Prior to that, I served in the development office of University Hospitals Case Medical Center, following a 10-year stint at KeyBank, where I was a relationship manager and advisor within the bank’s Nonprofit Endowment and Foundation Relations Division. Looking ahead, I am wide open to new ideas for re-connecting with alumni and offering meaningful events for friends. I’m particularly interested in using social media as a tool for keeping you informed of happenings at CIA and soliciting your ideas. We are now laying the groundwork for what will be a CIA alumni association and, again, I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions as this takes shape. I look forward to working with CIA’s newly appointed Assistant Director of Annual Giving and Alumni Relations Liz Huff, who joined our staff in August. Stop in and say hello next time you are in the Gund Building or contact me at 216.421.7412 or mkinsella@cia.edu. I am both honored and thrilled to be part of the CIA team and I look forward to an exciting and dynamic future. Warmly,
Mike Kinsella Director of Annual Giving & Alumni Relations

Honor Roll of Donors Dear Friends, Once again during the 2010–2011 fiscal year, alumni and friends of the Cleveland Institute of Art provided crucial resources to the college through their generous contributions. In fact, more than 1,400 individuals, corporations, foundations and organizations gave to CIA’s Annual Fund, made restricted gifts for scholarship support or other important initiatives, or left bequests to benefit the Institute. We list them here, in our Honor Roll of Donors, with deepest gratitude. n Given our nation’s stressed economy, we are especially grateful that these supporters made it a priority to give to CIA. The strong support of members of the Institute’s board of directors deserves special recognition. Collectively, the supporters listed on these pages helped us bridge the gap between operating expenses and revenue from tuition and endowments. We are grateful for the generosity of loyal friends and alumni of CIA, whose interests range from higher education to emerging artists, CIA gallery exhibitions, Continuing Education programs, and The Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque, which recently completed the yearlong celebration of its 25th anniversary. Alumni in particular send a powerful message through their giving: they value the education they received and they want current and future students to enjoy the benefits of a high caliber visual arts education. To all those who contributed to the Institute during the 2010–2011 fiscal year and thereby earned a place on our Honor Roll of Donors, we extend our heartfelt thanks. To view our full 2010–2011 Annual Report, please go to cia.edu/annualreport. Sincerely,

General Motors Foundation Grant Funds Scholarships, Equipment, Instruction Nine industrial design (ID) students and seven digital art students have been awarded General Motors Foundation Scholarships for the 2011–2012 academic year. The scholarships are funded by a grant to CIA from the General Motors Foundation. Digital arts majors offered at CIA, include T.I.M.E.-Digital Arts, video, animation, and game design. Because General Motors is committed to broadening diversity in the transportation design field, some of the ID scholarships were earmarked for women ID majors and others for ID majors from racial minorities under-represented in this field. The scholarship funding was part of a $70,000 General Motors grant that also offset the costs of equipment purchases for the industrial design department; underwrote a Saturday morning automotive design class taught by working GM designers; and funded course refinement by CIA faculty members to ensure that the Institute continues to educate designers to be innovative thinkers and creative problem solvers, ready for professional careers.

Dullea was just one of the special guests who helped the Cinematheque celebrate its 25th anniversary year.
