Summer 2020 London
Travel dates: From July 21st to July 29th 2020
The course: GD 2 History of Graphic Design (UC/CSU/ transferable)
Important travel update (March 22nd 2020):
-
Here is what I know right now:
- The class will be offered as an online class for Summer 2020 as planned
- As for the travel part of the class:
- Of course, right now, no one is traveling
- Will travel restrictions be lifted by the end of July?
- The travel vendor (AIFS), right now, has a deadline of April 22nd to sign up for the travel portion of the class
- In my opinion the situation will not resolve itself by then
- As soon as I know more about the travel I will update the website and email everyone on the “interest” list
