Whether your an incoming student or have only a semester of courses left, becoming a member of AIGA will bring you opportunities you wouldn't otherwise get without this organization behind you.
AIGA, the professional association for design, is the premier place for design—to discover it, discuss it, understand it, appreciate it, be inspired by it. It is the place designers turn to first to exchange ideas and information, participate in critical analysis, and research and advance education and ethical practices.
AIGA (American Institute for Graphic Arts) is a nationally recognized organization. Stout's student group is part of AIGA Minnesota.
UW-STOUT LEVEL:
Stout's AIGA student group had over 100 members last year, either with a national membership or with a university membership. We have expanded our scope to specialize in graphic design events, multi-media design events, speakers and workshops to bring our organization every opportunity to learn and to expand their skills.
Meetings will be every other week and will focus on getting more involved with design outside of the classroom and allow students to interact with each other to learn. Freelance opportunities will be available for those interested and internship opportunities will be passed on to AIGA members. Subscribe to the blog for future events.
In the past, alumni and professional designers have spoken with the students to share insights regarding job hunting, portfolio building and reviews, freelance work, animation and personal branding. We have also taken part in the Homecoming parade, screen printed t-shirts and had a social BBQ.
PROFESSIONAL AIGA MINNESOTA:
Stout's Student Group works with AIGA Minnesota to coordinate events available to students.
AIGA Minnesota offers events such as Design Camp, Cocktails with Creatives, Studio Tours and Portfolio Reviews. These are for students and professionals alike and are GREAT ways to network with other students as well as professionals to get more information about the design profession.
With an AIGA membership, students can access the designer's directory and job postings and receive discounts on events. Members also can set up a profile on the national website and upload their portfolio and resume to pass onto potential employers.
