Squirrel
Welcome to ‘Squirrel’ *, an internal publication sent weekly to Monash Design students and staff. Throughout Semester 1, 2020, Squirrel will present stories and projects that celebrate their achievements – demonstrating just how adaptive designers are – and aims to foster a community spirit as they connect through online learning and teaching.
