Sponsorship
At the University of California San Diego, challenging convention is our most cherished tradition.
Philanthropy empowers the Design Lab’s efforts to imagine and implement solutions to the complex challenges facing society, including access to health care and healthier living solutions, affordable housing, effects of AI on the labor market, and climate risks and adaptation. Your gift enables our students, faculty, and researchers at the leading edge of human-centered design to transform our world.
- Undergraduate and graduate research opportunities provide students with faculty mentorship and a hands-on experience applying design concepts to real-world problems.
- Collaborative interdisciplinary research can dismantle existing structures of inequality and move towards more inclusive systems for all.
- Our Design@Large lecture series, as well as other studio sessions, conferences, and workshops, unites distinguished experts in design to advance the field and offer engaging experiences for our community.
- The Design Lab’s Designer-in-Residence program helps recruit leaders in design to collaborate with UC San Diego faculty and students on issues at the intersection of education, research, and application.
