Justin Ahrens

On Thursday, November 7, Illinois Wesleyan alumnus Justin Ahrens will present his “Design for Good” lecture as part of the “Unraveling Inequality” Fall 2013 Course Cluster.  He describes the subject of his lecture as: “‘See Different. Do Different.’ As creatives, we are built to see the world differently than most. It’s one of our unique, innovative traits. We all say we want to be a part of changing the world, but how do you actually accomplish this?”
