How does design create change in health, living, technology, and manufacturing? What are the leading edge models of thought around creating change through design? Today, artists and designers are pursuing work and creative expression that pushes the boundaries of traditional disciplines requiring interdisciplinary collaborations, the mastery of new technologies, and intensive research to unearth new solutions to practical and aesthetic problems. Join the Westphal College of Media Arts & Design for a symposium that examines the process of change and design through research posters, visiting experts, discussions.

Drexel’s Westphal College is a leading design and applied art school, ranked the fifth best applied art and design school in the nation by College Factual and with top ranked programs in Fashion Design, Interior Design and Architecture, Digital Media, and Product Design.
