Pennsylvania College of Art & Design's fourth annual “Designathon” is 24 hours of creativity, fun and yes, full-on caffeine.
Fifteen graphic design students, who are members of the American Institute of Graphic Arts--PCA&D chapter (aiga.org), lead the way in this unique event in central Pennsylvania, all to benefit these participating non-profits: Project Access Lancaster County, KPETS, Manos House, Downtown Ephrata, Compass Mark, and Gifts that Give Hope Lancaster.
Students participating this year include: Jessica Alvarez, Ryan Baer, Nicholas Belcher, Kirk Beltle, John Bibbo, Elizabeth Cleaves, Lisa DeAngelo, Tom Dombrosky, Hannah Garling, Patrick Mendoza, Jessica Messerschmidt, Kathryn Smith, Mindy Tang, and Sally Yacovelly.
Faculty mentors are Pam Barby (chair of the graphic design department), Tom Bejgrowicz, Charlie Beyl, alumna Maria Cummings-Miller '93, Brian Gunzenhauser, alumna Gretchen Schwartz '07 (who is a PCA&D admissions counselor), and alumnus Ted Stoltzfus '05.
