to see what I’ll learn IMPACT! Design for Social Change, a six-week intensive program at the School of Visual Arts. I’ll be there from July 12th - August 20th ready to learn!

Our final post of the day, showing the wrap up. So fabulous and can’t wait to see the work! Way to go Dukes!

JMU CreateAthon onCampus has hit the 5pm hour with a check-in, coordinating tomorrow’s critique session, editing video and designing websites!  We just finished up discussing each of the 5 group’s progress before they break for the evening, though everyone is having this overall sense of, “I dont want to go…i want to finish my designs!” It has been a GREAT ride watching CreateAthon onCampus grow to another place. Can’t wait to see the results.

Even though it’s in the mid-40s and rainy we are loving our time with these JMU kids.  The entire JMU staff has been very welcoming and it seems these students are just as jazzed about participating in COC as our VCU kids.  Peyton has attached herself to a group redesigning a poster for the newly named, “LC” (Learning Center). I love seeing her work (she is a professor, through and through).  Keep checking back to see how the rest of our day goes!

Our first hour at CreateAthon onCampus JMU!

We are at James Madison University today helping in any way we can on their first CreateAthon onCampus! There are 3 Schools participating: School of Media Arts and Design; Writing, Rhetoric and Technical Communication, and the School of Communication Studies! Students are milling about getting settled into one of the 5 projects! Pictures to come soon. And thanks to Alex, I’m online!
