ArtCenter Admissions in collaboration with the Center for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion presents Dx3: Dialogues in Diversity & Design, a virtual speaker series. For the Fall 2021 edition, we will engage in conversation with influential alumni who have utilized their creativity to inspire, empower and highlight their communities through their own personal narratives and creative careers. Additionally, each alumni speaker will share their pathway to ArtCenter and how their identities informed their pursuit of an art and design education.
