The Center for the Arts & Humanities at Santa Clara University fosters interdisciplinary collaboration in research, creative activity, and outreach. We build and support partnerships, projects, and programming on campus and with our local community. The CAH brings together faculty, students, staff, visiting artists and scholars, and community members to pursue meaningful expression and intellectual inquiry--the building blocks for a better future and a more just world.
What We're Up To
Tony Award-winning actor and Sinatra Artist-in-Residence, BD Wong, returns to Santa Clara for a week filled with drama, music, and fun! We invite you to join us for the following events as our students and community celebrate the arts. View program here.
Meet this year’s inaugural cohort of CAH student fellows and learn about their projects. We’ll be congratulating our student fellows, welcoming next year’s fellows, and celebrating the year in arts and humanities! Watch the recording of the event here.
Submit to the CAH blog on racial and environmental justice. We’re interested in short posts on food and memory, cooking and feeding, gardening and growing, sustainability and sustenance, and the role of food in present and historical movements for racial and environmental justice. Submit to our team at cah@scu.edu

The Center for the Arts and Humanities at Santa Clara University stands in solidarity with those rising up to call for an end to the long, ongoing, and destructive reality of racial injustice and white supremacy in the United States. We stand with them against hate, against racism, against inequality, against police brutality and impunity. And we stand in solidarity with Black faculty, students, and staff–always, but especially at this moment when racialized and heightened state violence adds to the burdens of grief, trauma, and vulnerability.
