Design Justice Initiative

The Design Justice Initiative at the College of Design is dedicated to fostering equity and inclusion within design practices. 

We need your support!

Led by a diverse collective of students, staff, and faculty, we offer affinity spaces, certificate programs, and consulting services to promote justice-centered design education and practice. We aim to prioritize community impact over designer intent. With your philanthropic support, we can provide essential resources and opportunities to underrepresented students in the design field, establish scholarships and mentorship programs to diversify the design industry, and organize events and workshops focused on justice-centered design education. Here are stories we'd like to share with you.

• Learn more about our work in this recent interview with Director of Design Justice Terresa Moses.
• Explore Design Justice initiatives that enhance the student experience, shift culture, and inspire new approaches to design.

Your contribution will directly empower students to thrive and enact positive change within their communities through design. Join us in creating a more equitable and inclusive future for all designers. Together, we can make a difference.
