1 NEW YORK GUE: UAL CTY SUMMER SESSONS 2015 New York City and London are vibrant urban centers that share in their abundance of learning opportunities in art and design. The existing industries of architecture, fashion, finance, and education provide students with exceptional models to study as well as experience, first hand. Where better to plug into this energy, view the latest trends and collaborate with fellow students in art and design thinking while building a new network of contacts from around the world? PARSONS SCHOOL OF ESGN AOUT PARSONS SCHOOL OF ESGN A pioneer in art and design education since its founding in 1896, Parsons has cultivated outstanding artists, designers, scholars, business people and community leaders for more than a century. Today, when design thinking is increasingly being employed to solve complex global problems, Parsons is leading new approaches to art and design education. At Parsons, a diverse community of students develop critical thinking skills and apply them to real world challenges. Through a network of interconnected design laboratories, students explore global phenomena at multiple sites and scales of engagement, from on campus research initiatives to international partnerships that affect change in New York and around the world. n an increasingly designed world, art and design reflects and shapes our experiences. Through rigorous practice and critical scholarship, Parsons prepares students to be leaders in their professions and society.
