Dear CCA Community,

It is with great sadness that I write to share the news of the passing of
California College of the Arts Trustee Ron Wornick this weekend. It is
difficult to imagine our college community without him.

As a trustee and supporter of the college for almost three decades, Ron=E2=
=80=99s
impact on CCA was transformative and enduring. He was a passionate champion
and collector of contemporary craft and a talented woodworker who genuinely
loved the college and our students. His generous investments in CCA named
the Ronald Wornick Wood Furniture Studios and established endowments for
the Wornick Distinguished Visiting Professor in Wood Arts and the Ronald
and Anita Wornick Award, a juried prize and exhibition for advanced
students in wood arts.

Ron was an active member of the CCA Board of Trustees, where he held
numerous leadership roles including vice-chair and assistant secretary of
the Board and chair of the Advancement and Development committees. He
participated in two presidential searches and provided a key voice on the
Finance-Audit, Investment, and Facilities committees. He also played a
critical role in the college=E2=80=99s long-term planning process for campu=
s
unification.

Ron=E2=80=99s influence spans well beyond the college. He had a long and
distinguished career as an entrepreneur and food scientist. Through his
remarkable art collection and philanthropy, he became an internationally
recognized pillar of the contemporary crafts community. His generosity
touched many institutions including the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Ronald
C. Wornick Jewish Day School in Foster City, the Contemporary Jewish Museum
in San Francisco, and UCSF Medical Research.

His memorial service will be held this Monday, August 2, at 1:00 p.m., at
Peninsula Temple Sholom, 1655 Sebastian Drive, Burlingame.

I am honored to have worked closely with Ron throughout my years as CCA
provost and president and to have called him a friend. He will be deeply
missed.

Sincerely,
Stephen Beal
