Get Connected

The EWU Design program has an amazing community. From professors to students, everyone wants to learn and grow together. So don’t be afraid to say “hi” to your neighbor, bring up the latest controversial design topic, or mention an interesting Medium article you read. Our community is open, collaborative, and ready to hear what you have to say and grow from it.

We care about you and want you to take every learning opportunity you can while you are here. Finding your design advisor as fast as possible is key to graduating on time and in the most efficient way possible. Advisors have insight and access to information about the program in the future. Remember that they are designers too, so bring your projects and artworks to us for feedback on ways you can improve. We’re here to listen and help you. Don’t be afraid to make connections with us!
