On a cool spring day, faculty, staff, and students gathered on the fourth floor of the Architecture Building for an activity that can best be described as an immersive, educational work of performance art.

Each year the College of Fine and Applied Arts honors both past legacies and emerging voices in the arts by recognizing our alumni and friends who have impacted their fields in transformative ways.

The faculty at FAA are dedicated to the advancement, practice, and understanding of the arts. Their central focus is the synergy among research, public engagement, and the preparation of students for lives in the environmental, visual, and performing arts. We’ve compiled some of their recent awards and accomplishments in research.

The College of Fine and Applied Arts boasts over 35,000 living alumni. Every day our graduates advance the design, visual, performing, and environmental arts as problem solvers and explorers. We’ve showcased a few this year for their notable accomplishments.

The College Excellence Awards recognize faculty and staff who have demonstrated excellence and have made a positive impact on our college, students, units, and community. The recipients are selected by the FAA Executive Committee.
