About Design for Pakistan
Design for Pakistan (DFP) is a network of innovators using design thinking skills for local social impact. Developed by a faculty member and her students, DFP shapes the next generation of social innovators.
The DFP experience begins with a campus DFP studio where students act on their commitment to design for social good. They are joined by faculty and staff mentors who share the belief that education happens 24/7, that the college experience extends well beyond the classroom, and that real-world collaboration enhances learning, community and the university alike. The DFP Alumni + Friends Network includes alumni + professionals spanning a diversity of industries and functions.
In 2018, DFP was honored with a National Design Award from Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, in recognition of “excellence, innovation, and enhancement of the quality of life.” In 2020, DFP joined with the Pakistan Foundation.
