DAAP 40th Graphic Design Reunion 2023
Oct. 13 - 15
Cincinnati, OH
It’s hard to believe that 40 years have passed since we walked the halls of DAAP. To celebrate this landmark year, we are planning an exciting, activity-filled, Homecoming weekend! Rediscover today’s DAAP, reconnect with classmates, and experience a weekend of creativity and connection. We hope you’ll join us for one or all of our planned activities.
