Graphic design is a limited access program. Working together in the studio, not alone at home, is critically important in order to build a vibrant community of learners. We ask each student to install their computer systems in our student design studio (with high-speed network access, secure workspaces, and color output). The first five years of the plan have proven to be a remarkable success. Our graphic design students now have a superior level of access to technology combined with a strong community spirit.

VOX GRAPHIS

This student design group is driven by the motivation and energy of our students. It allows us to access student govenment funds and a structure to organize design events outside of our normal curriculum -- workshops and demos, an exhibition, guest speakers, travel to AIGA events, and so on. The intent is to educate ourselves, our school, our campus and community on design issues. The primary event each year is LIGATURE -- a cluster of activities which includes a show of student work juried by notable designers and educators. These guests travel to campus to lecture and interact with students. It has become a kind of homecoming event for alumni who return for the events.
