What is AIGA all about?

AIGA's Mission -to advance designing as a professional craft, strategic tool and vital cultural force.

Explanation of what we do:

AIGA is the oldest and largest membership association for professionals engaged in the discipline, practice and culture of designing. Founded as the American Institute of Graphic Arts in 1914. This just happens to be Concordia's 3rd year with AIGA and welcomes anyone interestest to please contact the president.
