David Whaley, Director of Publications and Visual Arts, began a three-year term on the Board of Directors of the University & College Designers Association (UCDA) Foundation on Jan. 1, 2009. Whaley, an active UCDA member since beginning at Longwood in 1997, is one of two new board members for the Foundation, which assists the UCDA in “attaining its goals for member education and charitable support.” The Foundation, said Whaley, “allows the UCDA to accomplish far more than it can on its own. It helps fund special projects and scholarships, as well as increase awareness of UCDA and the role its members play in promoting higher education.” The UCDA “exists to promote excellence in visual communications for educational institutions,” according to its mission statement. It was founded in 1970 as the first association of its kind in the nation and now has more than 1,000 members throughout the United States and Canada.
