“I entered this contest to add another piece to my portfolio and thought it would be awesome for people to wear and be inspired by something I designed."

Laura Shaler

“I didn’t know much about Achieving the Dream… until the dean of our college introduced the Achieving the Dream T-shirt contest to our Graphics teacher, Nancy Slater. As a class, we came up with the idea of assigning the t-shirt design as a graded assignment."
