UCDA Design Education Summit
Virtual Event
             
              
            
          
The 16th annual UCDA Design Education Summit is a national summit for design educators, chairs, and students, and continues an ongoing community created specifically for graphic design educators with opportunities for professional participation and development during this online event.
“Re-” is a prefix meaning again, anew, back, or backward. It allows us to frame ideas and activities with a new lens: revise, replay, repeat, refresh, return, review, rebound, retreat, reverse, rearrange, recycle, reiterate, and reassess. Over the past twelve months, those in the design education community have had to “re[noun/verb]” their course content, teaching methods, classroom practices, and means of student participation and inclusion.
The UCDA Design Education Summit: “Re-” will focus on how design educators have applied this prefix to their courses, their students, their projects, their research, and their personal practice. 
Schedule includes over twenty hours of content including 29 peer-reviewed presentations, panels, and workshops; 9 peer-reviewed poster presentations; and 2 live keynote presentations.
