Design Confluence Open Studio
Date: February 16, 2023
Time: 10am-1pm
About: Confluence is anything but your typical career fair. Instead of standing behind a table in a gym, students showcase their work, talk about what their passions are and how they manifest in their designing, and what they hope to find in full-time or internship opportunities in their studio spaces, surrounded by their work. Browse Confluence to get a taste of what life is like for a School of Design student at Carnegie Mellon.
