IDSA has announced the latest winners of two design education scholarships.

The $1,500 Gianninoto Graduate Scholarship has been awarded to Jeffrey Lin, S/IDSA, of the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA for use toward tuition as he completes his graduate degree in industrial design.

As the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) marks its 50^th anniversary at its 2015 International Conference at The Westin in Seattle, the Society is debuting The Future of Design Leadership panel featuring some of the biggest names and companies in design. "Clearly we are in a new frontier. Design is so relevant to the core of every business, that there are now new converging interests in design leadership.

The design experts who met at the iconic The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI to judge the 2015 International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) competition share what they believe adds up to award-winning design, and how they define design—as "empowering people," "a critical aspect of business" and "a very optimistic field for us to move in."

In a new video, 2015 IDEA Jury Chair Matthew Marzynski, IDSA, gives IDSA Executive Director Daniel Martinage, CAE insight into how hundreds of entries are judged in the one of the world’s more prestigious design competitions.
