about our SHOW

The inception of a design education is a sacred moment when students develop design thinking and software skills they will utilize for their entire lives. 

Traditionally, the D&DM Year End Show (YES) is a faculty-curated event that showcases our student’s best design work of the Spring and Fall semesters. It will be in a virtual format again this year.

All Los Rios students, friends, family, and alumni are invited to join us on Monday, May 16 for a Virtual Year End Show. 

This past school year has been a struggle for everyone, and out of that struggle came opportunity. The faculty in our program have found new and effective ways to reach students that will affect our teaching for the foreseeable future. The students have discovered how they learn and most have built skills that we call “self sufficiency”. We’ve all been more innovative, more creative, and more of who we truly are.

Who would have known that a pandemic could bring any good at all!?

The premise behind our theme this year addresses the connection we maintained while apart. Students are innovating new ways of getting to know each other, and getting to know faculty members. They are working in teams and supporting each other through the technology available to us.  

Many thanks to the YES design team: Jake Bath, Misty McDowel, Venice Jenkins, Beau Guzman, Rachel Chase, and Tina Nguyen for burning the midnight oil and making this happen with grace and beauty!
