Student involvement

SCAD student life is specially designed to unite creative students to shine together. From specialized clubs to curated student communities and leadership opportunities, SCAD offers something for every Bee at every location along their journey.

SCAD Squads

New Bees from around the world find their hive through SCAD Squads — vibrant, built-in communities that host events, activities, service initiatives, friendly competitions, and opportunities to connect with alumni. Each squad has a unique identity and exclusive merch so you can show off your squad spirit! First-year students will be assigned a squad. For returning and upper-level students who wish to get involved, contact scadsquads@scad.edu for more information and to apply for a squad mentor position.
