DEI Seed Grant

Research diverse designers globally for inclusion in online lecture series that is part of coursework in School of Art, Associate Degree Programs, Communication Design I&II Graphic Design I&II courses

Both the student participant in this grant and students in the course will gain a more enhanced, expanded view and knowledge of global typography and design. The goal is to create awareness of design diversity in programming, providing a stimulating environment in which students can discover and grow. This work will enable direct engagement with designers, museums, libraries, galleries, and nonprofits locally and internationally.

This initiative will develop an information portal with content from past talks and present research generated by the student participant.
