 In its early years, under the guidance of founding Dean Henry L. Kamphoefner, the School of Design experienced a remarkable period of creative and intellectual development.
Designers and theorists such as Buckminster Fuller (pictured below with a student design team), Matthew Nowicki, Lewis Mumford, Eduardo Catalano, and others joined the faculty and helped build a reputation for innovation and experimentation. Their legacy of strength, diversity and excellence continues.
 Students won national recognitions, including the Prix de Rome, Fulbright Scholarships, and five Paris Prizes. They initiated an excellent student publication reflecting the School's experimental posture. Many went on to leading graduate schools and later assumed important positions in practice and education. Recent graduates continue this illustrious tradition, readily gaining admission to prestigious graduate programs and quickly entering positions of leadership in their professions.
