Events + Opportunities at Jacobs, March 8-12

[Lauren Ardis]

Hello Jacobs Student Community, 

Lauren, here! If we haven't crossed paths at Jacobs Hall, I am the Public Programs and Communications Officer at the Jacobs Institute. I will be sharing news, events, and happenings with you each week that are organized or sponsored by the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation. Please look out for Amy's digest emails as well, which will continue to consolidate events and opportunities offered by our broader design community. I'm looking forward to sharing all of the exciting opportunities Jacobs has to offer each week with you. 

Here's what to know for this week, March 8-12, 2021. 

EVENTS: 

• Design Field Notes: Atticus J. Wolf, Founder of m0xy, Oakland, California // Tuesday, February 9 @ 4 PM
  
  Join us for our recurring lecture series, Design Field Notes, which invites a dynamic group of designers, artists, and academics in design-related fields to share their work and practice with our students and the general public.

  Save the date for our second Design Conversations speaker, Ahmed Ansari.

  In addition to the Jacobs Project Support, we are thrilled to announce that our remote 3D printing services are now available to all campus affiliates in support of academic work through Jacobs Self Service Printing (JSSP).
