Nucleus owes a lot to Art Center College of Design.  Having provided us with some of the most talented artists that we've had the opportunity of working with, it is a great institution. Today, it is also one of the world's premiere art schools producing artists and designers who win countless awards and are currently changing our world visually and spatially.  Yet it's been a difficult few years for the school fiscally with amounting budgets, changing economic-times and tuition costs yet-again, on the rise.  But as the previous President, Richard Koshalek resigned after a flurry of controversy amounting from his plan to use the college's funds to erect a building by USC Alum and international architectural celebrity (indeed, leading to school-wide protests against his tenure) Frank Gehry, hope for the future is lies within the reach of the college's new president.

Introducing, Lorne M. Buchman.  The previous provost of CCA (California College of the Arts) and last President of Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center, he fits the application for the school's ever-changing needs.  Buchman's focus for this upcoming year is strictly on raising money for scholarships and grants for current and incoming students of the school, which for those of you who know the cost of tuition for such a prestigious art school, understand.  Hopefully he lives up to his pursuits and helps lower costs for students so that the college can continue its outstanding record and education.
