Share Your Expertise

We welcome alumni to speak with students and faculty about their work. From globalization to community impact, we host presentations to inform our students about a variety of industries. We want to encourage them to take action in the world around them. If you wish to volunteer to speak to a class or provide a lecture, please contact School of Design Director, Matt Powers.

We encourage students to engage in hands-on learning that supports their curriculum. Contact us if you are willing to sponsor an internship, supervise research, or host service learning projects.
