In part two, Bellamy will give a lecture about her experiences as a creative operating at the intersection of community organizing, information design, research and experience design. She shares, “In this session, I will walk you through impact design case studies, my six principles of Conscious and Responsible design, give a foundation in data equity, and share with you the tools necessary to be successful in the social change sector.” This free lecture will be held at 6 p.m. in Kleymeyer Hall in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center. It is open to students, faculty, staff and the public.
