Design Department
Designing successful careers for a changing world

Our Design students learn to combine personal expression and critical thinking as they create solutions that connect industry, individuals, and institutions to specific audiences and themselves to the world.

 

Your support creates opportunities for design students to build professional networks before graduation, giving them a springboard into successful careers.

 

Our department has built a robust network of alumni who use their influence and position to help our graduates and each other build successful careers in Design. Check out this great gallery of pics from our recent alumni gathering in Seattle.

 

Your donation will support:

  • Global field study
  • Site visits to regional and national design firms
  • Scholarships
  • Critical learning tools

 

Thank you for supporting our Design students! Check out their Instagram to see what they're up to right now!
