Building Better Futures
To Do the Greatest Good

As part of the university-wide To Do the Greatest Good campaign, the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning is engaging with our community to advance the college's Building Better Futures priorities and initiatives.

Drawing from the depth of our five departments and the breadth of collaborations with experts across the university, we continue to change the world we share for the better.  AAP is dedicated to expanding and further integrating our vital blend of critical and creative practice, technical innovation, and social commitment to build a more just, equitable, and sustainable tomorrow.

Empowering the Next Generation of Creative Leaders

To honor Ezra Cornell's vision of "... any person ... any study" and support the creative capacities of each and every AAP student, the college has begun an initiative to increase the number of scholarship funds available to undergraduate and graduate students and enhance the student experience across all five departments.
