As a college community, we strive to ensure our campus is a welcoming and safe environment for our students, employees, and guests. When you visit campus, you should expect to be greeted by KCAD staff or security and asked to sign in. As an alumnus, you will be offered the opportunity to update your contact information. KCAD staff or security will then provide you with a guest pass and help direct you.
Alumni are encouraged to visit campus when connecting with faculty and programs, to check out the latest exhibitions, utilize the Kendall Library and Dow Center FLEXlab, and attend events. Alumni and guests will not be provided access to any labs, shops, or studios on campus unless they are working as a KCAD visiting artist or designer. KCAD labs, shops, and studios are for current student and employee use only.
Alumni who wish to schedule a guided tour of campus should call 616.259.1118 or email [email protected].
Visit the KCAD Alumni Association page to find out all there is to know about our alumni association and how you can be involved.
