"Describing innovation is
like describing laughter.
I mean, you do it
because you have the
ability to do it."

IN MEMORIAM
A. Alfred Taubman
The College for Creative Studies — its Trustees, faculty, staff, alumni
and students — expresses its sorrow at the death of its long-time
Trustee A. Alfred Taubman.
Alfred Taubman had a profound impact on the College. As chair of
its Facilities Committee for over twenty years, he led the physical
transformation of CCS, creating a true campus in the Cultural Center
and expanding to a second site, the innovative A. Alfred Taubman Center
for Design Education, housing art and design education from sixth
grade through graduate school, the only such building in the world. He
was a forceful champion of the College's mission of nurturing creativity
and an inspiringly creative thinker himself. He made CCS a better place
for its students and a more effective servant to its City. We will miss
him greatly. His imprint on the College is indelible, and our gratitude
for his contributions is everlasting.
We extend our deep sympathies to the members of the Taubman family.
