UCDA Design Education Summit, Johnson City, USA

Design educators and graduate students—join your colleagues in the 14th annual UCDA Design Education Summit. This national summit for design educators, chairs, and students, continues an ongoing community created specifically for graphic design educators with many opportunities for professional participation and development.

The method of collaboration has changed from working for a community to working with a community. No longer are we outsiders looking in, but rather we are learning from our communities, and relying on them for their expertise and knowledge to guide the process. The UCDA Design Education Summit: Collaboration will focus on the complexities of working with a community to solve design problems that address their needs. We are seeking community collaborative projects that highlight successes, failures, best practices, and new models/conventions of working together in the classroom.

Included in the summit are keynote speakers, panel discussions, workshops, and paper and poster presentations selected from abstracts submitted through a peer reviewed process. UCDA is famous for providing professional development in a relaxed atmosphere. The faculty will share ideas and welcome your participation in an ongoing dialogue about the critical issues facing the design education community.
