As I walk through campus and visit with faculty, students, and staff, I am inspired by their incredible work to advance CCA=E2=80=99s core values=E2=80=94creating educational opportuni= ties for our students, promoting diversity on our campus, and embracing our role as a proponent of social justice, community engagement, and environmental sustainability. *Growing Our CCA Community* In September, we welcomed our largest freshman class in CCA history! Of these students, 33 percent represent the first in their families to attend college. Through the leadership of Provost Tammy Rae Carland, CCA now also has the highest percentage of full-time faculty of color (31 percent) and one of the highest percentages of full-time women faculty (47 percent) amongst our peer institutions. This marks an important step forward for CCA, and for arts education more broadly, to improve diversity in our communities, increase equity, and promote inclusion. *Creating a Residential Campus* Progress continues on our plan to unify CCA in San Francisco and reimagine arts education for the 21st century. Award-winning architecture firm Studio Gang is finalizing the designs for an expansion of our San Francisco campus that will enhance adjacencies between programs and create new opportunities for creative exploration. At the same time, we are creating a truly residential campus at CCA, where students will live and learn together in new and exciting ways. In August 2018, we opened Blattner Hall, a new student housing facility less than three blocks from our San Francisco campus. This beautiful new residence hall is named in honor of CCA trustee, property owner, and developer Simon Blattner and his wife, Kimberly. Addressing the critical unmet need for student housing in San Francisco, Blattner developed the property specifically to provide below-market-rate housing to CCA students who otherwise would have to compete in San Francisco=E2=80=99s housing mark= et. This winter, CCA will also break ground on our first on-campus student housing facility in San Francisco. Located at 188 Hooper Street, the building will accommodate over 500 students and feature a ground-floor restaurant with a meal plan for residents. *Strengthening Our Connection to the Bay Area* CCA is forging connections with Bay Area institutions and leaders to extend the reach of our mission, expand the role we play as a cultural anchor in the region, and create new opportunities for our students.
