One Ball State Day 2025
Transform Lives Through Travel
Profound lessons happen beyond the classroom. Field Trip Week takes students to sites in the US, while several international travel courses are offered each year for CAP students.
However, rising travel costs are putting these invaluable opportunities out of reach for an increasing number of students. Without financial support, students are missing the chance to broaden their perspectives, connect with international communities, and gain firsthand insight into sustainable design solutions around the world.
This is where you can make a difference.
By donating to the CAP Around the World Travel Fund, you will help offset expenses and ensure that more students can participate in these life-changing experiences in 2026. Your support empowers the next generation of design leaders, giving them the tools and perspectives they need to build a better world.
Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to making travel accessible for all.
Sincerely,
David Ferguson, Dean
