A $30,000 grant from the non-profit organization VentureWell helped launch new class in the College of Human Ecology that gives senior design students the opportunity to develop and market their ideas.
The class – Fiber Science & Apparel Design Futures – is open to seniors in the departments of Fiber Science & Apparel Design and Design + Environmental Analysis. In it, students take a concept they developed in a previous design course and move it closer to the marketplace.

We’re asking them to think about the skills they want to be able to demonstrate to a prospective employer.”
