About 450 graduating seniors — from four schools in the college and 15 interdisciplinary degree programs — will showcase their work for five days at DAAP, 342 Clifton Court.   

These capstone projects mark the culmination of a student’s academic journey, blending knowledge and skills honed throughout DAAP programs. Each project addresses real-world challenges and offers a glimpse of the students’ readiness for professional practice.

The installations range from sustainable industrial designs to the future of fashion, all showcasing the power of design and art to drive a positive impact in the world.

The on campus portion of DAAPworks is free and open to the public, with varying visiting hours during the day and evening, from April 30 through May 3. Schedule of events.
