Graduate Design Program Adopts the Designers Accord

Posted on Tuesday, July 14, 2009, by Kim Lessard

This past spring CCA’s Graduate Program in Design became the first U.S. academic program to join the Designers Accord—a coalition of designers, educators, researchers, engineers, business consultants, and corporations all working together to create positive environmental and social impact.

The Designers Accord is endorsed by both the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) and the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA). By adopting the Designers Accord, the program affirms its commitment to design for sustainability and to share its knowledge and expertise with a global community of tens of thousands of committed members representing each design discipline.
