As a result of the review, the college\u2019s new name is School of Architecture &amp; Community Development (SACD).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As many of you know, the faculty and administration in SACD and the Detroit Collaborative Design Center (DCDC) have achieved international recognition for providing\u00a0social, economic, environmental, justice-driven and student-centered projects and learning opportunities. Additionally, they are well known for their expertise in public interest design and\u00a0civic engagement. As a professional practice with full-time staff supported by student employees, the DCDC provides design, planning, and community engagement services to the non-profit community using a \u201cteaching-hospital\u201d model for architects. With a legacy of community-driven work, this is an appropriate time for the School to highlight \u201ccommunity development\u201d in its new image.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The School of Architecture &amp; Community Development\u2019s Dean, Dan Pitera, recently noted that the response to this rebranding from alumni and the community \u201chas confirmed our excitement with this transition, which is centered on amplifying our mission-driven and student-centered approach.\u201d The newly named School of Architecture &amp; Community Development is one of only two American architecture schools with a community development major; and Detroit Mercy\u2019s SACD is the only one with \u201ccommunity development\u201d in its name. As the Master of Community Development program now becomes a focal point, there will be more exploration into community development-related initiatives to help broaden and strengthen the impact of the community development faculty, students and alumni.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Please join Provost Pamela Zarkowski and me in congratulating the faculty, staff and students in the School of Architecture &amp; Community Development as they assume and promote their new brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sincerely, <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Antoine M.
