Mentoring Emerging Designers (Facebook LIVE Event)

Higher education on its own is rarely enough to provide emerging designers with the confidence and resources to jump-start their career dreams. Behind every successful designer, there is a story about a mentor or teacher that had a major impact on their design journey. At this digital event, viewers will learn about the value, demands, and rewards of mentoring from a panel of professionals. Attendees will also hear how participating as a mentor or mentee can benefit anyone at any stage of their career.

Panelists

• Dr. Donnisha Beverly, Senior Visual Information Specialist, Internal Revenue Service
• Melanie Charlton, Mentoring Chair, AIGA DC
• Gary Rozanc, Assistant Professor of Graphic Design, University of Maryland, Baltimore County

Moderator

Mira Azarm, Innovation Instigator, UMD Academy for Innovation and Entrepreneurship
