Student Perspective
"I was given the chance to learn old school design methods mixed with new technology.
I work with both methods every day at Kohl’s, and I was able to help my team onboard
with 3D design and PLM since I had already been working with these programs throughout
my degree."
- Audrey Bilyeu Apparel Design and Technology Graduate
