Students from the College of Visual and Performing Arts, L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science, School of Architecture, Martin J. Whitman School of Management, the College of Arts and Sciences, the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and the School of Information Studies came together in September for the Creative Climate, an intensive weekend eco-graphics design workshop sponsored by SU Showcase.
