Designing A Sustainable Career Field
SCC’s Graphic Communication Department helps to promote sustainability within the design field.

Professor Donald Button's class during
the spring semester 2008
Sacramento City College will be the first Community College and just the second educational institution to adopt The Designers Accord, an agreement which seeks to stimulate mass change within the design industry by revolutionizing the concept of design. By pooling their knowledge, an idea foreign to a field based on competition, designers can create a network in which every client is compelled to engage in a discussion of sustainability. Together, they can advocate for improvements that will produce lasting change by applying a "green" lens to all of their activities and assimilating environmental intelligence into the entire design process, including an informed discussion with their clients.
