Louise Manfredi, an assistant professor of industrial and interaction design in the College of Visual and Performing Arts’ (VPA) School of Design, received a 2020 Young Educator Award from the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA), one of the oldest and largest industrial design associations. Manfredi received the award virtually at IDSA’s international design conference in September.
The IDSA Young Educator of the Year Award recognizes junior faculty, non-tenured or tenure-track educators who have made a noteworthy impact on industrial design education within the early years of their academic career. Individuals are nominated by a peer or student.
