Steven Nohren first joined the College of Design as a Design Studies student in 2018 with an interest in curation and museum studies. He stepped away from full-time study during the pandemic and returned this fall to complete his degree as a full-time student. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When two friends backed out of co-editing The Student Publication<\/em>, Steven saw an opportunity to jump in, challenging the skills he\u2019d acquired as a design student and requiring him to step outside of his comfort zone.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Student Publication<\/a><\/em> itself has a storied past, going back to the earliest days of the college. From 1950 to the early 1980s, it came out annually or semi-annually, before taking a hiatus. In the early 2000s, the publication saw a resurgence under the advocacy of Dean Marvin Malecha, who fundraised heavily to create an endowment to support the publication\u2019s production. Students would become interested in a topic, and manage all aspects of the publication\u2019s production and distribution. \u201cWe always encouraged students to challenge the status quo,\u201d said Tania Allen, associate professor and director of graduate programs for media arts, design and technology and faculty advisor for The Student Publication<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
