Thanks for following up @emorynavy - I’ve been doing a lot of research looking into biodesign in fashion/sustainable fashion and have discovered a lot of great resources. I will likely end up staying at Emory for multiple reasons, but I’ll be pursing an interdisciplinary degree that combines my interest in fashion innovation and entrepreneurship. Not quite sure yet as to how I’ll frame this. My research led me to find that Emory is part of the Atlanta “ARCHE” program which allows students enrolled in Atlanta schools to take courses at other Atlanta institutions for credit. I’m looking to do this with SCAD ATL hopefully in the spring to gain some basic understanding/skills in design/textiles.

I would love to be in New York full time for school because of all of the opportunities here in the fashion industry, but for now I’ll have to improvise by commuting back to attend events/network when I can. For now, my main goal is to find internship opportunities in the industry during the school year as I want to gain experience working in different areas.

Thanks for your advice and input.
