You did an excellent job with the website! [PLiNTH & CHiNTZ] sounds like a great resource for students as well as a great place to learn what the field really is all about. I know that when I first started [college] I was clueless and had a lot of self-learning ahead of me. It is good that you are starting something that will take some of that guesswork out. - Holly Cavey, student at University of North Texas

* Over the years, we've flip-flopped computer servers a few times. Consequently, the images imbedded in these newsletters are not showing up and some of the symbols look a little funky. It's a bummer, but at least the imbedded links work. (There is always something to be grateful for.)
** As we launched P&C with a different email marketing system, at the moment we do not have links for these newsletters. We're working to figure out a solution, however.
To bridge the gap between the student / educational community and the professional / manufacturer community of the interior design world, and not to die of boredom while we do it.
