Support for Our Faculty

Our position as one of the world’s leading colleges of architecture and urban planning reflects the extraordinary passion, dedication, and expertise our faculty bring to their work every day.

To maintain our position as a leader in education and research, we must continue to attract and retain top-tier, future-focused faculty members.

Their expertise drives research addressing critical societal challenges, and they bring students into the work directly, as research assistants, and through their teaching. Investing in faculty not only benefits our campus community but also extends our impact to experts, policymakers, and communities worldwide.

“Well-funded research initiatives not only serve today’s faculty and students but also raise the visibility and elevate the reputation of Taubman College. Donor funding ensures the college’s research enterprise continues to thrive.“

— Kathy Velikov, Associate Dean for Research and Creative Practice
