Lehigh students received national accolades when 32 design students in the department of art, architecture, and design (AAD) took home awards in the 2024 Graphis New Talent Design Competition.
“Our graphic design students competed against BFA, MA, and MFA design students from prestigious colleges and universities,” said Maurizio Masi, assistant professor of design.”A select panel of respected creative professionals and educators assessed thousands of received submissions. Our AAD department's interdisciplinary programs follow a teaching philosophy emphasizing experiential learning and critical visual thinking. Our graphic design faculty has expanded and continuously evaluates our curriculum to emphasize design thinking and interdisciplinary collaboration while keeping up with emerging industry standards. We're proud to congratulate our recognized students on their achievements, which elevate their hard work, our program, and Lehigh University.”
