Learning experiences at SDSU encourage students to expand their horizons. By providing an accessible education with an emphasis on applied learning, we empower young minds to build a greater future for themselves and make meaningful contributions to the world.
Building Community With Passion
Miranda Dooley, an interior design alum, now shapes spaces as a project interior designer with Perkins&Will in Denver. Her work goes beyond aesthetics, translating client goals into compelling narratives within architectural designs.

SDSU set the stage for her journey, and now, Miranda is creating an impact that extends far beyond the walls she designs.
