After 16 amazing years of creative interdisciplinary courses, connections, and communities, Living ArtsEngine will be coming to a close on May 31, 2026.

We want to thank all of the students, staff, faculty, and community partners without whom this incredible program would not have been possible. To our alumni and grads, we hope you all continue to reach across your fields and disciplines to collaborate and innovate in the spirit of LAE!

We hope to see you all at our final LAE Alumni Reunion in March and LAE Symposium in April. More details on both events to come.
