Associate Professor Mark Baskinger remembers the life and work of Ed Zagorski, who passed away on January 10th.  The School of Design mourns his passing, celebrates his legacy, and acknowledges the influence he's had on our industrial design program/products track.

With deep and profound sadness, the School of Design has recently learned of the passing of Professor Emeritus Bob Swinehart at the age of 78. Bob taught at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Design, primarily in the areas of graphic and communication design, from 1974 until he retired into emeritus status in 2010.

In June 2019, Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Design named Stacie Rohrbach as the Director of Graduate Studies for the MDes, MPS, and MA programs. Rohrbach is an Associate Professor who teaches Designing Experiences for Learning, Communication Design Theory and Practice, Design Studio and Thesis Preparation courses for students across the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs.

Carnegie Mellon University School of Design's Stuart Candy has just published "Design and Futures," a major volume about the intersections of the two fields. Together with Cher Potter from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Professor Candy spent several years assembling contributions on subjects from moviemaking in Los Angeles to street art in South Africa, game design in Macedonia, and climate-resilient architecture in Tuvalu.
