“In my experience as a design professional and educator, I can say the Designers Lighting Forum (DLF) New England chapter is more invested, involved, and enthusiastic about supporting each other than many other professional organizations I have encountered. They have been an invaluable partner to me, my students, and colleagues. Through scholarships, internships, and mentorships, the members of the DLF have assisted our students in their education and career growth. They have helped to drive the success of lighting endeavors on our campus such as sponsoring our Festival of Lights event, providing in-class critiques, and hosting lighting tours. I am thankful for their advocacy of lighting education and continued service to our students and the lighting industry.”
