Writing for The Charleston Daily Mail, Nicole Yanovsky profiles the “Piece of the Pride” project in Fashion Design and Merchandising:

After the WVU band got new uniforms, Vash arranged for her students to put parts of the old ones to good use.

Students in her product development class have used the old capes to create new items like blankets, scarves, hair bows, bags, cell phone caddies and more. The class will be accepting donations for the handcrafted products when they are ready and available later this month.
