Faculty Life

Welcome

Welcome to your resource for information and facts about union representation and what it could mean for you and the ArtCenter community. In the spirit of supporting a fully informed decision, we invite you to get the facts here and to ask questions or provide a comment by emailing facultylife@artcenter.edu. Or you can email me or your department chair directly.

Your voice is very important to us.

Thank you for visiting. We look forward to continuing to listen, reflect, share viewpoints and influence change—together.
