Color Marketing Group®'s Student Chapter is a dynamic collaboration between student leaders, CMG liaisons, and partner universities. It offers student members a unique opportunity to take part in the same color forecasting process used by professionals at the forefront of design and product development worldwide.

Through their own student-led ChromaZone® Forecasting Workshop, participants gain hands-on experience, explore peer perspectives, access valuable resources, and deepen their understanding of how color influences decisions. In addition to CMG-led ChromaZone workshops and virtual presentations, each chapter is encouraged to partner with CMG Liaisons to build meaningful programming that enriches the student experience.

In this session, professors Rebekah Matheny from The Ohio State University, and Nancy Kraig from Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) will unveil the first North American Student Chapter Color Forecast™.

This inaugural session is offered on a complimentary basis to CMG members and non-members.
