UIC AIGA Student Group Wins Boost Grant

For the second consecutive year, the UIC AIGA Student Group has been awarded a Boost Grant.

The UIC team submission, Thank You, is a socially engaged typography workshop for design students to learn the art of hand-lettering by creating postcards to send to anyone who has made a positive impact on their lives. The plan is to assemble students from different AIGA chapters to come together and create for others, and in return to learn from one another—to build new relationships among people with a passion for design.

AIGA Chicago is committed to creating opportunities for design students to engage with the broader creative community. This spring, the chapter is offering two Boost Grants of up to $750 each for active student groups, which can be used to help bring projects of their design to fruition.
