They were effective communicators, professional in every way. Thank you. Because of their work I feel such a weight lifted. The program that you all are running over there should be a national example.

Collaborating on interdisciplinary teams of students and doing such impactful work for the small business owners of Detroit was an experience that made me a better designer, community member, and prepared me to enter the job market more confidently. I appreciate the trust you put in all of us to do this work. It means everything to be taken seriously, trusted with real clients, and see the fruits of your labor.
