Mentorship Program
The Mentorship Program is designed to help students and young professionals build strong professional connections, gain industry knowledge, and grow their confidence as emerging designers. Through small-group conversations, professional panels, and skill-building sessions like mock interviews and portfolio reviews, participants can take the first steps in shaping their career path.

SPARK
Ignite Your Creativity.
SPARK is a collaborative design experience where students team up to solve a creative design challenge. It’s an opportunity to share ideas, experiment, and learn in a fun, fast-paced setting that builds both confidence and connections. Whether sketching concepts, presenting solutions, or working with a partner, SPARK encourages you to explore your creativity while gaining valuable hands-on experience.
