Design Futures

About the Forum:

The Design Futures Student Leadership Forum is a five-day, interdisciplinary forum bringing together student leaders with practitioners and university faculty who represent some of the most important thought leadership in community-driven and engaged design. We frame the conversation broadly, but try to engender leadership and skill-building for future leaders hoping to use design as a tool for social equity and positive change in underserved communities.

Our guiding principles include striving to build the next generation of leadership in the field; continuing to diversify the ecosystem of design in terms of discipline, background, race, gender, and scale; elevating the rigor and critical capacity of community-engaged design curricula; and curating a national network of thought leadership drawn from contributing universities and practitioner-faculty committed to the advancement of the field.
