2026 SMC IxD Senior Grad Show

SMC's IxD invites you to engage with students, alumni, and other industry professionals at our annual grad show! Join us for a celebration of our senior Interaction Design students on Thursday, June 11th.

From 5:00 - 9:00 pm, the SMC Center for Media and Design campus becomes an immersive showcase of exciting new work from our graduating IxD students across design and tech. Our IxD grad show is within the CMD's LUX 2026, an annual student showcase encompassing a range of media and design disciplines.

Whether you're an industry professional, IxD alum, current SMC student, family/friend of our IxD seniors, or are curious about our program, we invite everyone to explore the innovative work presented here.

This is your chance to connect with the designers shaping what’s next.

See the agenda below to explore networking opportunities.

Info: We're inviting a select group of professionals to host a cocktail table during our networking hour, where students will seek you out for real conversation: how you got your first job, what your day looks like, what you wish someone had told you.

Info: For Industry Representatives only: Join us for an exclusive industry reception in the Faculty Lounge — a curated space to connect with CMD faculty, program leads, and fellow professionals.

Info: Peruse IxD student projects on the second floor of the Center for Media & Design. Food also available in the courtyard.
