Celebrating 25 Years of Community, Connection, Innovation and Impact

Since 2001, Designmatters has brought together students, faculty, community members and partners to find design-driven solutions to some of the most pressing social issues of our time, including clean water access; healthcare; disaster preparedness and response; and sustainability.

Now with 300 Designmatters Minor alumni around the globe and multiple student projects implemented in communities by our partners, the impact of Designmatters has reached far beyond the walls of the classroom.

We are excited to celebrate our community, past collaborations, ongoing impact and the future of social innovation with Designmatters alumni, faculty and partners!

We hope you will consider giving to the Designmatters 25th Anniversary Campaign to support Designmatters project and programs, including student travel scholarships, material stipends, workshops, and more. Your gift will ensure we can continue creating meaningful opportunities for students to engage with important social issues and community partners locally and internationally.
