Collectives are communities of students and faculty who are interested in particularly area of Graphic Design and able to represent the Department in the larger community of Graphic Design. Huh? Classes are one way to learn and get to know like-minded peers. Collectives are another way. They allow you to work on projects and initiatives and stay connected to people and ideas outside of the classroom.
Collectives have kickoff meetings. Come!
