On November 5th and 6th, Appalachian State’s student group of the Industrial Designers Society of America and the Industrial Design program area in the Department of Technology welcomed sixteen professional industrial designers to review student portfolios. The event was held in Katherine Harper Hall throughout the morning and afternoon. Professionals from such companies as; Dell, CCI (Ryobi), Newell Rubbermaid, Irwin Tools, Bernhardt, MeadWestvaco, and Montie Design reviewed portfolios of 45 industrial design students from Appalachian State University, North Carolina State University, Virginia Tech and Savannah College of Art and Design. The students were able to get invaluable information about layout, project selection, and overall presentation, as well as, having real face to face interaction with potential employers.

Cool folks, drinks, AND the possibility of winning free prizes? Hell yah!  Sounds like an impressive win all around.  Above are some shots from last week’s event.   Thanks again to Brian for setting up the much needed social and for providing all the cool raffle prizes from Cooper Tools.  We hope to see more of you out at the next event.   Look for an email or check the site for the location and prizes for the next Thirsty 3rd Thursday.  See you soon!
