"Our mission remains clear: to enhance the abilities of design educators and institutions, prepare future designers for excellence in practice, theory, and writing, while upholding AIGA's broader mission of advancing excellence in design as a discipline, a strategic tool, and a cultural force. Through events, resources, and publications, the DEC facilitates communication among design educators, fosters and promotes dialogue, shares current research and teaching methods, establishes standards for design education, and communicates the value of our work to the larger profession. We explore design's long history, its present realities, and where it's headed next. And we remain grounded in our core values, supporting educators in their careers, advocating for the future of design education, dismantling barriers to access, and making design education more inclusive for all."
