The Matthias Kemeny Endowed Design Lecture Series is coordinated and managed by the Portland State Graphic Design program. This series brings internationally celebrated design professionals annually to Portland to give a lecture for the benefit of the students and faculty in the Graphic Design program, as well as the broader design community. This series is free and open to the public and highlights a wide range of design practices in an attempt to facilitate a community-wide dialogue about design and related fields. The series has been made possible by the Matthias D. Kemeny Charitable Fund of the Oregon Jewish Community Foundation.
Be Honest is the Portland State University Graphic Design annual student portfolio showcase. It’s not just for graduating seniors, but for ALL levels of graphic design students that want to participate and share their work. It’s part portfolio show, part party, part online open house, part alumni reunion, part TV show, and ALL FUN. And we want you to join in with us!
