Faculty and staff are encouraged to display their work at the regional festival. It is a great way to show your colleagues your work, recruit students for your program and it is also a good item to place on your tenure and promotion list. Please send in the design expo entry form with the entry fee of $25.00.
Faculty and staff are also encouraged to submit work for the Theatre Crafts & Technology Expo. See the Theatre Craft & Technology Expo page for more details.
Please refer to Format for All Design Exhibits
Regional Design Projects Respondents
HELP WANTED:
We are looking for volunteers to give of their time and talents to give written responses to our student designers of the Regional Design Projects. Young designers need as much feedback as they can get from a variety of respondents, so we would like designers, technical directors and directors to share their expertise with our regional design students.
It involves filling out a one-page evaluation sheet for a paper project design for approximately four to six students. Any insights you can share with them would be greatly appreciated. You could pick up your packet at the design expo desk on Wednesday afternoon and would have until Saturday noon to complete the forms.
If you are interested in helping us, please contact M.C. Freidrich, Design & Technology Co-Vice Chair (see contact page).
