Tobin Shreeve Memorial DMBA Scholarship

We are raising funds to create a scholarship in memory of our dear friend and classmate, Tobin.

TOBIN’S STORY

Tobin Shreeve was always in search of his next challenge. He worked his way around bike shops, moved out West, camped up and down the California wilderness — and Tobin followed his passions to the MBA in Design Strategy (DMBA) program at the California College of the Arts.

In the DMBA, he experienced a full personal and professional transformation: he gained clarity, confidence, skills, and purpose. He found a sense of self and dynamic ambition, not to mention an instant and steadfast family of fellow dreamers and builders. 

In the DMBA, he laid the groundwork for his next adventure: an ambitious social-purpose venture, grounded in the true Business by Design spirit of the DMBA. Created to help others succeed, he believed that businesses could be — and must be — not only profitable, but impactful and remarkable.

In the DMBA, he met his partner, Willi Cohen. They fell in love in the beginning of the program and moved in together during their final semester of the DMBA, carving out a life together in San Francisco complete with crafty DIY touches for their home.

On Memorial Day, 2019, only one week after walking across the stage to receive his diploma in front of family and loved ones, Tobin passed away. His unexpected death is a tragedy, compounded by the fresh ambition and purpose he had just begun to put into action. 

We are honoring his legacy by raising a scholarship fund so that others can carve their path and find their purpose through the DMBA in the same way that Tobin did.

WHAT IS THE TOBIN SHREEVE MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP? 

In Tobin’s memory, the Tobin Shreeve Memorial Scholarship provides direct financial assistance to future students of the MBA in Design Strategy at CCA. 

Through this Scholarship, recipients will experience the same inspirations and transformations that Tobin enjoyed. His legacy will live on through the impact of each of these students.

HOW FUNDS WILL BE USED

100% of contributions will fund the Scholarship for future DMBA students to ease the burden of tuition on future business and design leaders.

Additionally, we are seeking to reach a  $25,000 goal, which will guarantee that the Scholarship exists permanently, and will ensure Tobin’s legacy lives on through the DMBA in perpetuity.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Tobin was only beginning to fulfill his post-DMBA dream of helping others. Through the Scholarship, generations of DMBA hopefuls will be touched by his spirit and his commitment to generosity. 

Please donate in honor of Tobin and toward the joy of every life that will be changed.
