APPLICATION:  The  Denhart  Family  Sustainability  Scholarship  Prize      

Art  and  design  fostering  environmental  responsibility  &  commitment  to  social  good.  

BACKGROUND  

The  ability  of  natural  and  man-­‐made  systems  to  sustain  themselves  and  flourish  is  the  critical   challenge  of  our  time.  Art  and  design  sit  at  the  nexus  of  these  systems  and  create  the  connections  that   give  us  shelter,  mobility,  communication,  comfort,  and  quality  of  life.  How  artists  and  designers  make   those  connections—between  materials  and  functions,  cultures  and  technology,  ecosystems  and   commerce,  well-­‐being  and  stewardship—is  the  key  to  our  sustainable  future.  

THE  DENHART  FAMILY  SUSTAINABILITY  SCHOLARSHIP  PRIZE  

In  response  to  this  charge,  Art  Center  College  of  Design,  together  with  the  Denhart  Family,  has   created  the  Denhart  Family  Sustainability  Scholarship  Prize  to:   1.    Raise  awareness  across  campus  of  sustainability  and  its  relevance  to  art  and  design   2.    Assist  the  College  in  becoming  a  leader  in  sustainability  and  comprehensive  design   3.  Create  a  competition  to  recognize,  encourage  and  support  exceptional  undergraduate  students   whose  research  and/or  projects  prioritize  environmental,  social  and/or  economic  sustainability.  

The  Denhart  Family  Sustainability  Scholarship  Prize  supports  the  College's  developing  curriculum  in   comprehensive  design  and  will  foster  in  students,  faculty  and  staff  recognition  of  environmental   responsibility  and  a  commitment  to  social  good.
