AIGA

The American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) is the leading professional association for the advancement of design. As a nationwide organization with over 22,000 members, AIGA works to demonstrate the value of good design and empower designers at every stage of their careers. Visit AIGA’s website to find thousands of articles on art and design, links to resources such as sample business contracts, a listing of upcoming conferences and events, job listings and much more.

AIGA is represented at Oregon State by our student group. Join us weekly to socialize with other local designers, plan fun events both in Corvallis and Portland, work on building our portfolios and resumés, and discuss design issues affecting us both locally and nationwide. As a student member of AIGA, you have access to all of the benefits available to professional members, at a fraction of the cost. Do yourself a favor and become an AIGA member today. It looks amazing on your resumé, and the resources and social networks you’ll have access to are invaluable.

Contact the AIGA student group president, Jake Baez, at baezj@onid.orst.edu with questions about how you can get involved and find out what events are planned for the 2009/2010 academic year.
