DSGN PROM '26

DSGN PROM  — A graduation celebration put on by current students for the graduating class of the School of Design! This event is being held for the second consecutive year.

The theme for the 2026 graduation, decided by a general vote, is a medieval fairy tale.

Our responsibilities included organizing all stages of the event: — Assembling a team of volunteers; — Allocating them to departments and coordinating their work; — Distributing tasks; — Site scouting and liaising with the owners; — Coordinating all event channels across social media.

Departments we have coordinated: — PR and Media (developing the brand book, managing social media, photographing guests); — Finance (budget allocation and preparing all estimates, managing procurement); — Bar and Food (creating the bar menu, operating the bar during the event, serving food to guests); — Decorations (designing the venue decor); — Entertainment (conceptualizing entertainment points and managing them); — Music (creating playlists and DJing at the event); — Logistics (guest reception, distributing wristbands at the entrance, and providing a welcome drink).

One of the traditions for the graduation is collecting congratulations from staff in the academic office and current year faculty for graduating students. All the congratulations are edited into a collective video that we show the graduates during the event!

We also hold the DSGN PROM AWARDS—an award ceremony summarizing the results of all four years of study. This year, we developed a system of certificates for the winners in various categories and then sent them to everyone we could reach!

Throughout the event, several volunteer photographers worked. They conducted shoots at designated photo zones and across the entire venue!
