Ontario College of Art & Design Renews Membership in Leonardo  
Affiliate Membership Program
The Ontario College of Art & Design is Canada's "university of the  
imagination," engaging in education and research and contributing to  
the fields of art and design, local and global cultural initiatives,  
and knowledge and invention across a wide range of disciplines. Since  
1876, OCAD's specialized, studio-based programs have inspired  
students, faculty and alumni to push the boundaries of art and  
design--analytically, conceptually and strategically. Today, OCAD  
combines the strength of that tradition with new approaches to  
learning and research that emphasize collaboration, innovation and  
the integration of emerging technologies. Students in OCAD's 15  
interdisciplinary bachelor's and master's degree programs benefit  
from a university education that blends academic rigor with the  
experimental freedom of the studio. Leonardo/ISAST welcomes OCAD as a  
returning member of the Leonardo Affiliate Membership Program. FIND
