(The New CCS continued)
Capital Campaign
The funds needed to develop the Taubman Center and upgrade
the Ford Campus have been obtained through a combination of
tax credits, funding from the Thompson Educational Foundation,
borrowing, and philanthropic gifts raised through a capital
campaign. No tuition dollars were spent on the renovation. To
date, donors from the community have contributed more than
$37 million toward a goal of $55 million in philanthropic gifts.
Donors include individuals, foundations and corporations. They
have committed resources to the project because they recognize
its importance to the city and the valuable role CCS plays in the
community. The project will not only enhance the educational
experience for CCS students, it will expand CCS’s impact on the
future of Detroit. For more information about the Campaign,
contact Tim Hudson in the Institutional Advancement Office
at 313.664.7472.

Detroit Deliquescence Sculpture
The A. Alfred Taubman Center for Design Education will be
home to Detroit Deliquescence, an iconic work of art in Detroit’s
history. The 16-foot sculpture, created out of salvaged auto parts
by renowned sculptor John Chamberlain, has been placed in the
main public promenade of the Taubman Center. Chamberlain,
who has been fabricating abstract sculptures out of discarded
vehicles since the late-1950s, designed Detroit Deliquescence
in 1979 for the General Services Administration (GSA). Detroit
Deliquescence was historically displayed outside the McNamara
Federal Building in Detroit and the Walter Reuther Library at
Wayne State University. With the help of the local art community
and state legislators, CCS petitioned GSA for placement of the
sculpture in the Taubman Center.
2009/2010 Enrollment
Once again, CCS achieved record enrollment with 1,400
students (1,382 undergraduate and 18 graduate) on campus
to begin the fall 2009 semester.
Undergraduate
The projected undergraduate enrollment was 1366 with
392 new and 974 returning students. The College enrolled
1,382 students — 358 new and 1,024 returning. Due to the poor
economy, especially in Michigan, the College experienced a great
deal of difficulty in reaching the new student goal. Throughout
the summer, the enrollment services staff worked with many
families, new and returning, who were experiencing financial
difficulty and were able to find solutions that enabled many of
them to enroll. Retention was strong and, in the end, the total
enrollment goal was exceeded.
Due to the shortfall in new students, all faculty and staff are
asked to give special attention to retention. Every employee on
this campus has an impact on student retention.
