We also extend our deep appreciation to distinguished alumnus and CAP Advisory Board Chair David Tryba, who has committed $25,000 on behalf of Tryba Associates, and has challenged other architecture firms to contribute as well. 

Other donors include CAP’s new Advancement Officer, Meg Touborg. Moreover, Dean Nan Ellin has contributed $250,000 from a CAP start-up fund that she was reserving for a meaningful and transformative initiative.
