Milan Design Week

The College of Arts, Media and Design (CAMD) is now accepting applications to attend, explore and analyze the world-renowned Milano Design Week 2025 from April 7 – 13th, 2025. CAMD will be sponsoring twelve (12) talented students this year, covering your events registration, air travel, and lodging expenses.

Program Responsibilities

• Students will be responsible for actively participating in pre-work from March 31 – April 4 to include an orientation to the event, overview of the city, review of press coverage, target event identification, and the development of assessment criteria in collaboration with partner organizations.
• Students will have an ambitious schedule during the Design Week to explore the field through observation, documentation, and interviews that will drive the analysis and interpretation of events and exhibitions using the assessment criteria developed during pre-work.
• Students will be responsible for developing two (2) reports during post-work phase, the week of April 14 – April 18 – an editorial report that describes the outcomes of the field research and the analysis, and a one-minute video that synthesizes the experience and works as a teaser for those who attend in the future.
