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.
