Over the weekend we had the opportunity to train the incoming leadership and in doing so we had many great speakers!

Michelle Sowers brought so much passion to the conversation around Student Affairs, reminding us how important it is to introduce students to the design profession early.

The future of design starts long before the first college studio.

By reaching high school students now, we have the opportunity to inspire future college students, support them as emerging professionals, and ultimately help shape the next generation of designers.

It’s not just about growing our profession — it’s about creating the path for who comes next.
