Orientation Student Book

We can't wait to see what you do here
Crack a book.
It’s the reason you’re here and the reason you’ll stay. Much of your time will be
spent on your coursework. It will be fun and productive as long as you allow for
your own balance of concentration and relaxation.
Catch a show.
Every week brings a new gallery show or installation opening either on or near
campus. Campus openings are free, and all students are encouraged to attend
and support their fellow students, faculty, and visiting artists. CCAD students
also get free admission to the Columbus Museum of Art, which is just a few
steps from campus. You should also check out any of the commercial galleries
in Columbus: Admission at these galleries is free and they’re glad to see
your interest in their exhibitions. Please note: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
reservations may be necessary before your visit. Head to the museum and
galleries’ websites first before your pay an in-person visit.
Explore Columbus.
Columbus is packed with things to do. Within a few blocks you have access to
parks and gardens, boutiques, libraries, and restaurants offering food from
every area of the world.
Join Student Organizations.
The life of an art student can be hectic, but most of the best students find a way
to get involved outside the classroom. Studies show that the more students
interact with their peers informally or through extracurricular activities, the
stronger their chances are of succeeding in college. Student Engagement &
Inclusion gives you lots of possibilities to choose from. Check out the list of
what we have available at my.ccad.edu.
Make time to play.
Student Engagement & Inclusion works with the Student Programming Board
(SPB) and other student organizations to plan and carry out activities to keep
your life lively and interesting. Some are repeated every year, while others
come and go according to student interest.
