Guest Speaker- 11/14/2008

The guest speaker in todays class inspired me a lot. To see a recent graduate of UNCG excelling in the work world really caused me to engage into her presentation. To find out that she was an english major and not a CARS major with her current position in the fashion industry was interesting. I was surprised to know that she didnt find out about the CARS program until her junior year. As a CARS major i just assumed it was a well known area in the school. I also enjoyed her enthusiasm and interraction with us. She grabbed my attention and kept it. Another reason I was interested was because her topic related exclusively to my concentration, constuction. The example fabrics she presented were cool and it was also interesting to learn she helps produce them. In general the things she dicussed helped heighten my perseverance for wanting to work in the apparel industy.
