UWSP ASID Mission Statment

The goal of the UWSP Student Chapter is to educate students about the importance of becoming involved in ASID, an organization that is inspiring, personal, indispensable, enriching, reliable and who has stewardship.

As a student chapter, we want to inspire minds by enriching the process of design at a personal and professional level. We seek professional programs that are fresh and find current trends to inspire and inform. We direct social programs to promote interactions customized to our member's interests.

Through these goals, the UWSP ASID student chapter can set itself apart from other student design organizations as a supplemental source for design students who are dedicated to their profession
