Giving Back: TEACHING + NONPROFITS
TEACHING
Jen Stern channels her passion for helping others into teaching; she always aspired to teach graphic design – to have the impact on young graphic designers that her professors had on her. In 2018, she became an Adjunct Professor at Tyler School of Art & Architecture - and in 2024, she joined Moore College of Art - both where she has enjoyed teaching Typography to college juniors. She received the Distinguished Adjunct Faculty Award in 2021 from Tyler.
