Some of our MFAD faculty have already received the AIGA Medal for Lifetime Achievement, Stefan Sagmeister (2013), Gail Anderson (2008), Steven Heller (1999) and Tibor Kalman (posthumously in 1999). Tonight three more faculty members will receive their well deserved awards.
Ken Carbone** (with partner Leslie Smolan):** Recognized for demonstrating across decades the power of beautiful and well-reasoned design principles in corporate identity, communication, publishing and strategy to designers, business and the public.
