"SCAD shows that we can educate students and prepare them for successful careers in creative fields. That was a revolutionary idea when SCAD began, but our students and alumni — who hail from over 100 countries — are proof positive that it's true. If I leave any kind of legacy, there's nothing more joyful than that."

““The thing is, a creative education—especially the elevated and professional degree programs offered at SCAD—is about intentionality. You build, you invent. There’s purpose to it.”

“Students from everywhere come to this beautiful part of our country that we've lived in and know and love, and when they do, they find they love it too. I think part of it is that they find such a warm reception here in Savannah and at SCAD, and they find that anything is possible. It's the ultimate American dream to think that you can create whatever you want for yourself and your career,”

““All around us, dreamers were dreaming up new ideas: Star Wars, The Clash, Apple. I was nearing thirty ... and wondered if I could do more.”
