We will also be able to provide future job/internship opportunities. We’re only $280 away from our goal, please DONATE today to help us get there!

After Hours Party was a blast 🎉 

Our organization hosted a memorable after-party for the fall semester! It was an evening of laughter, connection, and honoring their hard work the last few months. During this time we got to debut our very own customized pins! Reach out to us on how you can get one! Sign up for the ‘25 After Party here.

Portfolio Review 💻

Our awesome volunteers were able to provide aspiring 22 UX students, insightful feedback and one-on-one discussions via online and in person. They helped students refine their work, strengthen their presentations, and gain confidence to apply to the program. It was an inspiring experience to support the next generation of UX designers!
