Through a class survey as well as self conducted interviews we found that Design students at UW often don’t know what resources they have available to them or don’t know how to ask their supporters for help. Sarah and I designed a broadsheet that aims to inform and comfort stressed college students.
It Takes A Village, explores statistics surrounding what students’ support system might look like, what should be expected from the process in each phase, and some alternatives if one discovers that the internship route isn’t for them.
Each statistic is paired with a comforting blurb meant to ease anxiety. The internship application process doesn’t have to be intimidating and there is no “right” way to do it. Success looks different to each student, our data is meant to inform how they decide to proceed.
