Rise Creative has emerged as an opportunity to offer undergraduate students the chance to seek professional, hands-on experience in their field. Students participate in a permanent campus design studio that challenges their creativity and professionalism as they undertake design jobs for USM units as well as local, regional and national clients. With the Rise Creative experience, students get to think for themselves (in cooperation with their peers and fellow students) in a service-learning situation where practice, not profit, is the motivation. The students who work in the Rise Creative student group develop professional-quality portfolio pieces and enhance their design skills before graduating from USM.
