Want to get involved and get to make awesome events like our Aquarium of the Pacific field trip or Halloween social, and get to connect with our alumni and faculty? In DSA, we're always looking for fresh ideas, so we highly encourage anyone to apply! Joining the DSA board is a great opportunity to utilize your creative skills and make an impact here in our design community, and your experience as a board member can look great on your resume as well.
All design students are eligible to run, and there are 9 available positions on the DSA board to choose from.
