CompassionConverge is an invitation to discuss the intersections of inclusion and undergraduate research in design. We believe in the power of emerging designers to dismantle cycles of oppression and to build a community of inclusive practitioners. We honor localized knowledge and recognize the ways in which it informs individual and collective experience. Our mission is to create compassionate convergence—a space for voices to be heard, concerns to be raised, and experiences with inclusion in design to be shared in an effort to learn from one another, collaborate and explore together, and envision the future through intentional reflection.

This is a virtual event to occur over the course of several days. Graphic design students, practitioners, or even those who simply have an interest in design are welcome to this event! Bring your friends and join us when you are able!
