Who are we?

We are California Polytechnic State University's student chapter of AIGA, the professional association for design.
Join our chapter as we promote design while giving students opportunity to network, grow, and positively influence designers around us.

We have a lot of upcoming events planned that we don't want you to miss out on! We recommend all design students to join AIGA for a chance to collaborate with other designers and build your portfolio. Not a design student? That's ok! We also welcome students from all majors! This is your chance to take advantage of the resources available to you during your time at Cal Poly.

How do I join?

Joining is easy! Follow the link here, and you will be able to join AIGA as an individual by choosing the option to contribute $50 a year. (View our membership benefits here.) After you have paid your dues, click the "Student Group" tab and request to join our group
