Thursday's Events



Marc Thorpe, a UMD alum, architect and industrial designer, kicked off our Thursday events with a presentation about this multi-disciplinary work. Marc's proud father is Professor James Thorpe, below right, who introduced his son with a touching tale about the time Marc first became interested in design.


Thursday night concluded with an inspiring keynote by Allyson Lack, another UMD alum. Along with design, Allyson studied business and marketing while at UMD and she served as a great example of the potential for the Design and Innovation in Marketing Fellows program. Allyson found her calling for design in Prof. Thorpe's ARTT100 class and narrated how she benefited greatly from her knowledgeable, enthusiastic design teachers.
