D CEO: Scottish Rite and TWU Team Up for Adaptive Fashion
At Texas Woman’s University, a fashion design class took learning beyond the classroom by focusing on how their skills could help the community. The course partnered with Scottish Rite for Children after identifying a real need among pediatric patients, especially children with scoliosis who wear halo devices that make everyday clothing hard to manage. By learning directly about the challenges these patients face, TWU students designed adaptive clothing that fits over the halo device to make daily care easier and give children more independence. The project shows how TWU blends hands-on education with meaningful service to create a real-world impact.
