Idaho becomes 60th AIGA Chapter
There is now an Idaho chapter of the AIGA. Click here to read more. We are still working on getting the student group recognized by the AIGA, which will likely come near the beginning of next semester. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail any of the officers.
New Semester
Hello.
Mix/Mentor Event
As many of you may have heard, we are planning an event with the professional AIGA chapter. The purpose of the event is to connect student club members (or potential club members, you don’t have to be a member to participate in this event, although it is encouraged) and professional members. How it works is, you (the students) will sign up to take part in the event (either by sending me an e-mail [stephennorell@gmail.com] with your name and contact info, or by signing one of the sign up sheets that will be posted around the Fine Arts Building) and the professionals who are interested in participating and becoming a “mentor” will also sign up with the professional chapter. Then, we will all get together on Wednesday, September 24 for a chance to meet each other, mingle, and so on. After that we will pair up students and professionals at random.
Basically, you and the professional will get a chance to meet up for a cup of coffee once a month throughout the semester and discuss whatever design-related topics you wish. It’s a great opportunity to get a feel for what happens in the professional design world, as well as build some good contacts.
So once again, if you are interested, send me an e-mail or sign up on one of the sheets around the FAB.
- Events are coming soon, stay tuned!
