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.
