University of Florida Graphic Design

Students, faculty, and alumni of the Graphic Design Program at the School of Art + Art History, University of Florida have several initiatives to explore design for the social good.

Design for Development with Associate Professor Maria Rogal: Our projects are interdisciplinary collaborations and partnerships with communities and disciplinary experts, primarily in southern Mexico. We’re working with honey producers to bring their products direct to market, an eco and community tourism cooperative to teach others about living Maya communities, organic farmers and artisans to foster sustainable practices in the communities and teach others.

MINT, a student design studio/professional practices course: Students have the opportunity to work on real projects for the social good in the University of Florida community and with non-profit organizations.
