How do I register to participate in MLLD?
Please complete the online registration form. If you have questions or need assistance, please call the appropriate career consultant, depending on which areas of interest you and/or your organization has the most interest in:

Architecture and Design: Sonjala Allen (412) 268-2064

Art, Drama, and Music: Harriet Schwartz (412) 268-2064

Where can I see the entire MLLD agenda?
The MLLD agenda is a work in progress as we confirm our invited guests. Please see the online tentative master schedule. Your individual schedule will be created upon your registration. We will email this to you as soon as it is set and will send you a final confirmation in early January.

Can I participate in classes?
If you would like to visit a class while you are on campus, please email Gloria Geib at ggeib@andrew.cmu.edu. She will pass your request on to the appropriate Career Consultant who will work with you and the academic department faculty to see if there is a good fit (in terms of timing and interests) for you to visit a class during this year’s program.

Who will be there? Will I be able to network with other professional participants?
We will regularly update our online list of professinal attendees as well as the list of students planning to attend. You will sit with other creative professionals, faculty, and students at the Opening Dinner. You will also share breakfast and lunch with other participants (typically without students in attendance) and have substantial time to network.

What should I expect at the Networking Event?
You will meet students who are interested in learning more about your work and your professional development. If you are also looking for internship or job candidates, you will meet students interested in these positions.

Do I really need to stay through the entire Networking Event?
Yes. Some students may not be able to attend your other MLLD involvements because of class conflicts, etc. The Networking Event is the only part of the program open to all students so it is very important that you attend. Likewise, some students do not arrive until the second half of the Networking Event due to classes and studios, so please plan to stay for the entire event.

Should I bring anything to the networking event?
A list of these items is available online.

What if I have specific dining preferences or restrictions?
If you have any specific dining restrictions, please make us aware of them when you register to attend MLLD.

What is the “dress code” for MLLD?
We tell students to imagine they are going to an opening night, or a nice gallery opening. The same “dress code” perspective applies for you. Your time on campus will be busy and intense, so be comfortable. Also keep in mind that you are setting an example for students who will be intentionally or unintentionally be taking in professional cues.
