Student Voice Project

From Classroom to Career

The Student Voice Project (SVP) is a collaboration between academic advisers and students in the UW School of Art + Art History + Design. SVP develops programming to help you recognize that your learning and experiences in the classroom relate directly to skills you will use to develop your career.

SVP is committed to dispelling the myth that learning in the visual arts limits the scope of professional opportunities for our graduates. Students who major in art, art history and design graduate with the following:

• Practiced problem-finding and problem-solving skills
• Expertise in visual literacy
• Polished presentation and communication skills
• Collaboration and leadership experience
• Research methods and the ability to complete resulting projects
• Motivated for and by critical feedback
• Ability to network, create and engage in community

Join us for our series of SVP Zoom events this Autumn! Everyone is welcome.
