Savannah College of Art & Design
Savannah College of Art and Design, SCAD for short, exists with the purpose of preparing talented students for their professional careers with emphasis on learning through providing students with individual attention in a university setting focused on positive orientation. SCAD is an institution that is made up of distinctly separate but still complementary locations, and is recognized as one of the leaders in art and design education. Innovation is employed in all areas, providing a superior education via dedicated and talented faculty and staff, advanced learning resources, comprehensive support services, and leading services.
SCAD values growth while continuously improving, going the extra mile for their faculty and students, demonstrating excellence and quality in all aspects of the operation, providing an extraordinary education and life changing experience for students, promotion of a cooperative team spirit with a positive attitude, and being a student-centered institution. Along with providing an excellent education, SCAD works to improve the community with service projects covering many niches. There is a student-led community initiative called SERVE, alternative spring breaks in which students travel and volunteer their time to help meet the needs of other communities, and a program in which students meet at various elementary schools and take part in reading and mentoring children. SCAD students may also volunteer with Habitat for Humanity, H.E.Art for Humanity, Kids Cafe, and Pet Project. Students can work hard on their academics while also serving their community and help to improve it in the way that best fits with them.
