New School Alumni @ SXSW 2020
UPDATE: On March 6, 2020, The City of Austin canceled SXSW, and accordingly, The New School at SXSW related events are also canceled. We were looking forward to seeing you and we are grateful for your interest in joining us. Stay tuned for more information.
As The New School gears up for another SXSW, we’re pleased to share the stories of alumni who are bringing their innovative projects and perspectives to the SXSW stage this year. Peruse our alumni, faculty, and student lineup, comprised of some of today’s most influential change-makers, thought leaders, and creators. Stay tuned for more about their films, musical performances, panels, mentor sessions, brand activations, and more. We hope to see you in Austin!
If you are participating in SXSW, email us at alumni@newschool.edu.
