Performing Arts Designers at the U (PADU) is a student org sponsored by the College of Fine Arts and the Department of Theatre.Our mission is to empower members of the organization to cultivate a comprehensive understanding of the design elements involved in theatre, film, television, dance, concerts, opera, conventions, expos, architecture, art installations, and the development of new works. Additionally, we aim to broaden our members' professional networks and enhance their skill sets through internships, workshops, travel, and other educational experiences. We are a collection of multicultural designers and creatives who seek to develop performing arts design across the campus and the community. We offer numerous workshops throughout the academic year, as well as travel, networking, job, and design opportunities. Membership is open to any University of Utah student. PADU is proud to be the recipient of Student Leadership & Involvement's New RSO of the Year Award for the 25-26 academic year.
