LAUNCH Invitational Residency 2017

LAUNCH Invitational Residency is a professional service /professional development program for the students in Chicago area undergraduate schools. This is the first year that DePaul will participate. The Coleman Entrepreneurship Center is facilitating by submitting three students. The company introduces students to the tools, resources, and networks that will help them achieve their goals. Faculty from The Art School (LAS) and CDM each nominated students; three Art students are going forward.

Facilitated by a team of Artist Leaders and Guest Speakers, LAUNCH’s pedagogical model focuses on practical skill-building workshops, creative activities, collaborative brainstorming sessions, and one-on-one consultations. At this critical point in their careers, the workshop allows artists a chance to access tactical advice, devote time for introspection about the future, and engage with established, rising, and innovative thinkers in the field.
