Hallmark Symposium Series

Current Symposiums

For nearly 25 years, The Hallmark Design Symposium is a course offered by the KU Department of Design, sponsored by an endowment from Hallmark Cards, Inc. Each semester, creative and articulate designers, writers, artists, and educators are invited to speak. Enrolled students, faculty, and interested community members attend the lectures.

The presentations range from 60 to 90 minutes in length. Visuals in the form of slides, video, or other digital media support and enhance the presentation content. Typically, presenters also provide opportunities for audience questions following their prepared remarks.

All lectures are free and open to the public. All lectures take place at 3140 Wescoe, 6 pm, Mondays, unless otherwise noted.
