Amplify Program
Amplify is an initiative that offers you an opportunity to gain the skills, coaching and platform you need to share your knowledge and perspectives with a public audience. It’s a forum where you can take what you’re learning in an academic setting and use it to develop a public voice by experimenting with different media, including public writing, public speaking, multimedia and public art. Through events, workshops and one-on-one coaching and feedback, you’ll develop work that you’re proud to share with the world. The program culminates with a chance to submit your work to the Amplify Competition.
ZineFest
October 7, 2024
Join the Wurtele Center for Leadership and the Design Thinking Initiative for a day of learning about, exploring, and making zines!
Zines are hand-made, self-published booklets meant to educate and inspire action on issues that matter to the maker and their public(s).
