Graphic Design: Program Advisory Committee
We hosted our first ever program advisory committee (PAC) for VCAD Calgary. The Graphic Design PAC met on campus to discuss the program and opportunities for a Bachelor of Design degree (in the works). We apologize as a few members did have to leave early before we took the group photo. We’ll get everyone in next time, promise.
We're excited to get the other PACs up and running in the next 1-2 months for each program.
