Meet the Designlab Community
The Community category of channels is where you can head to connect with other students in UX Academy Foundations, UX Academy, Career Services, and UX Academy alumni. In addition to #general-chat and #off-topic, we also recommend utilizing the various voice channels that are available. You can post in the #co-working channel to let others know you’ll be working in a voice channel, or join an existing study group!

You can find the channel for your cohort in the UXA Foundations channel category. We encourage you to introduce yourself and greet your fellow students in your cohort!
