Experiential Learning Center

Maximize the time between post-school and pre-career

The Experiential Learning Center (ELC) is a one-of-a-kind 1,800-square-foot center dedicated to supporting budding designers as they go from the classroom setting to the workforce in their design careers. With diverse mentorship, full access to the latest technology and resources, and resume- and portfolio-building paid work experiences, The ELC offers marginalized students the chance to go all in on their career development. 

At the ELC, students will:

Build their design portfolios and fill their resumes with paid work experiences

Gain access to the latest, most robust design tools, platforms, and resources

Meet their future coworkers, employers, and colleagues as they network through the design world
