Message from College for Creative Studies President Don Tuski

The health and safety of the CCS community is our top priority and we are taking every step to reduce risks related to COVID-19. One of the best ways to prevent the spread of viral illness is to minimize the circumstances in which individuals may interact and transmit the disease. Most colleges across the country were mandated to switch to online or remote education to complete the current semester and to limit in person activities and events to no more than 10 people, and CCS has complied with this directive, which is why we have made the decision to transition to remote learning and cancel on campus events at this time.

As you may already know, our Admissions team is developing online events and formats for you to connect with them virtually. Staying in touch remotely allows us to continue helping you through the college application process while protecting you and our community.

The future at CCS is bright. We are planning to return all functions of campus back to normal this summer, which will be in plenty of time for the start of Fall semester classes. This means access to all studios, facilities and equipment, faculty and campus services and spaces will be fully functional for incoming and current students. We are committed to the studio experience for all of our students.

Sincerely,
Don Tuski, President
