Connect with the Life Design Lab this Spring

Although the Life Design Lab at Homewood remains physically closed, we are here for you virtually. The LDL supports and serves all Krieger and Whiting undergraduates and masters students, regardless of post-graduate plans. Through the LDL you have access to life design programs and courses, experiential learning opportunities, and connections with alumni and employers.

During the Spring semester, we encourage you to engage us with your questions and requests. Students, find your life design educator, resource or programming below. Employers, alumni, parents and prospective students can find relevant information on their pages in the menu.
