The annual Doctor of Design Symposium will feature several panel discussions centered around our two key topics: design in health education and health in design practice. The symposium also will include sessions addressing design thinking tools and policy implications for health in design.

Ellen Lupton, senior curator of contemporary design at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City, will be the lunch keynote speaker. Lupton also is the founding director of the graphic design Master of Fine Arts degree program at Maryland Institute College of Art.
