Design Change . Change Design: The first student-led Designers Accord Town Hall meeting will take place on Friday, March 12th at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. Please join D-Rev’s Krista Donaldson and CCA’s Design Strategy MBA students as we embark on a journey fueled by lively discussion surrounding Designing for Social Change.

As we move towards building a more responsible and sustainable future, design’s value is no longer measured in terms of beauty or function. Design is a now a framework for change, used by leaders around the world to solve our planet’s most challenging problems.

The event:

6:00pm-6:45pm Networking (hors d’oeuvres and beer+wine)
6:45pm-7:15pm Keynote Presentation, Krista Donaldson
7:15pm-8:15pm Open Presentations on Social Impact, 5 min time slots
