ASID Invests in University Students Through Competition and Campus Events
July 29, 2019
ASID highlights student programs and previews dates for 2019 SCALEX events at universities and colleges nationwide. We also recognize the winners of the 2019 Student Portfolio Competition at this year’s SCALE: The ASID National Student Summit.
As back-to-school season approaches, so do opportunities for design students to engage in individual career development; get hands-on experience; and learn from their peers, mentors and future employers.
SCALEX, a series of daylong events tailored to undergraduate design students, has gone live for 2019. Held in October at schools across the nation, SCALEX offers students and educators alike the chance to:

Participate in innovative discussions with top panels
Explore real-life scenarios to better prepare undergrads for life as a professional designer
After attending, students are equipped with resources they can take with them throughout their professional career, and educators are able to augment and expand their curricula.
Developed as a local version of SCALE: The ASID National Student Summit, SCALEX is a full day event, designed to bring the same innovation and immersion directly to local communities.
