Professors Prepare & Inspire
"What I loved most about the Design program were the professors and their real-life experiences with design outside just the normal classroom setting. (My professors) were all great inspirations to myself going through the program, teaching me applicable skills, many of which I still use today. At the same time, they always made sure to keep me grounded and prepared in what to expect when I graduated."
