Nick Jonas loves them. Outdoorsmen can’t get enough of them. And more than a few CCAD Industrial Design grads work for them.

International manufacturer Rocky Brands won a 2013 Plus Award for design excellence at the Footwear Plus Awards thanks, in part, to Industrial Design alumnus Andrew Burleigh's designs.

The awards, created by Footwear Plus, the footwear industry's leading fashion magazine, are determined by votes from thousands of industry members nationwide.

The Nelsonville, OH, manufacturer received the award for their Durango cowboy boots.

Industrial Design alumnus Gary McAllister's painting Emma Dean will be on display beginning Jan. 14 as a part of (un)Still Life, an exhibition at the Coconino Center for the Arts in Flagstaff, AZ.

The 1972 alumnus' oil painting depicts John Wesley Powell's 1871 expedition in the Grand Canyon.

Fall means changing leaves, cooler temperatures, bonfires, and trebuchet launches. What? You didn't know trebuchet launches mean fall is here?

Well, that’s how we are celebrating on campus during the Alumni & Family Weekend, Oct. 4–5—and this year the events are bigger and better than ever.

Industrial Design alumnus Larry Winston Collins (CCAD 1986) was commissioned by the Ohio Department of Transportation to design and create a mural along the Long Street Cultural Wall in Columbus, OH.

Collins is collaborating with local photographer Kojo Kamau on the project, which will consist of 60 panels installed along the wall for a total length of 240 feet. The panels will feature black and white photographs and linoleum-cut carvings honoring people, businesses, and institutions connected to the nearby King-Lincoln and Discovery districts.

Even as the corners of the world are drawing closer together, there’s still room for an occasional small-world surprise. For example, how exactly did a teenager in Bangkok find out about an art school in the American Midwest? Was it research? Recruiters? The Internet? No. It was word of mouth. In high school, Kittikhun Ter Charoenkitnapa made no secret of the fact that he wasn’t going to go to any, as he put it, “normal school.”

“I was deciding between art school and music school,” he said, “and a friend told me about CCAD.”
