Student-Led Events

The Design Center supports events with student organizations. Project-based events can involve staff leading your group through hands-on making-oriented projects. Examples include:

Screen printing events where students can print organization logos on shirts or tote bags
Button making events where students design and/or make their own custom pins and magnets

A point person from your organization should be in touch with us throughout the planning and execution of the event and support users while they're working in the space. Events usually last around 1-2 hours, and we generally need at least 4-6 weeks notice to plan for an event.

All event participants must be safety trained. If your student group is not yet safety trained, we can schedule our 45 minute safety orientation prior to the event start time. Alternatively, you can advise all your group members to individually attend a safety training in advance.

Email us at designcenter@barnard.edu with the following information to schedule an event for your student group or organization:
