Murals & client projects

Experiential learning

Real design work students take on for real campus clients, from a 90-foot mural to web, print, and video campaigns.

Murals and client projects

What it is

A running stream of real client work students take on for campus partners: large-scale murals, including a 90-foot installation, plus web, print, and video campaigns. It now operates as a grant-funded studio that pays students for the work.

Who it’s for

Campus clients who need design work, and students who want real, paid, portfolio-grade experience before they graduate.

The goal

Put students in front of actual clients and deadlines, so they leave with professional work, not just class assignments.

How it works

Projects come in from campus partners; students scope and produce them under faculty direction, and the studio’s grant funding pays students for their work.
