GAUGE
Speaker Series
Created in 2005, GAUGE (Graphic Artists Union of
the Golden Eagles) is the Graphic Design student group started by undergraduate
and graduate design students in the Department of Art at California State
University Los Angeles. GAUGE is an official AIGA student group. AIGA,
The Professional Association for Design, is the only national membership
organization for design and designers.
AIGA student groups offer a way of encouraging students
to take the first step in demonstrating a commitment to their professional
interest and assisting them in understanding the graphic design field.
The GAUGE Speaker Series brings design industry professionals
to campus to stimulate discussion, inspire excellence and build community
among the design students, alumni, faculty and staff of California State
University Los Angeles.
Established in the 2006-2007 academic year, GAUGE
has brought one speaker each quarter to campus.
