As part of its continuing commitment to the diversification and strengthening of its Board of Trustees, the ArtCenter College of Design Board of Trustees has appointed Su Mathews Hale as Chair, assuming the role from fellow Trustee Robert C. Davidson Jr.

Davidson has held the position for the past 10 years and will become Chair Emeritus. Robert C. Davidson Jr. was the first African American to serve in this role at ArtCenter, and he was among the first African Americans to assume board leadership of a member institution within the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design (AICAD).
Two new members
The Board also appointed two new members, Michelle Gadsden-Williams and Ivy Ross at its annual meeting. Michelle Gadsden-Williams brings more than 25 years of experience as an advocate for equality within corporate America and is a thought leader around diversity and inclusion. Ivy Ross, vice president of hardware design at Google, was ranked among Fast Company’s 100 Most Creative People in Business last year.
