To enhance the learning experience for our fourth-year visual communication design students working on their capstone projects this autumn semester, we have invited VCD alumni and design professionals to engage in our design-talk series, presentation reviews, and critique sessions. 

We extend our sincere gratitude to Kevin Ward, Ashland Damron (BSD 2023), Gabby Fugger (BSD 2020), Ethan Newburger (BSD 2021), Shane Richardson, Sarah Martin (BSD 2021), Tyler Mitchell (BSD 2014), Rachel Galpin, and Miranda Wagner (BSD 2017) for their invaluable support. Their involvement not only fosters a sense of community but also provides our students with a deeper understanding of the design profession. 

For those interested in attending or hosting future design-talks, please contact chan.179@osu.edu.
