A total of 15 in all are included with inspiring graduates Q and A.
As for Fredrickson, her prior experience prepared her for what to expect.
“I knew what to expect coming back,” Fredrickson said. “My previous experience gave me professors who I knew cared about me and wanted to see me succeed. I got the same experience in the industrial design program. The professors push you to create your best work, and classes are set up for real-world experience, whether it is classroom exercises or sponsored projects for industry companies.”
