*<span style="color:#000000;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The ARCD club at JMU allows students to join chapters of the American Institute of Architecture Students and the American Society of Interior Designers, where students can attend national conferences, have professional mentors, and gain points that lead to accreditation in the professional world.</span></span>

*<span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Center for Entrepreneurship offers teams of students the chance to grow their ideas into a starup company through the Venture Creation Fellowship. Small teams of students and/or faculty members can apply to the fellowship and if accepted they will attend an 8 week program running from June to July aimed at helping them transform their ideas into success stories. Teams are given a stipend, granted access to the ICE House workspaces, and paired with an experienced mentor.&nbsp;</span></span>

At its core, the IDSA is empowering industrial design students to make an impact on their community with their innovative design skills. Many are active in other groups that are altering campus or have personal pursuits in design and entrepreneurship. With the industrial design concentration now becoming a full major and the number of students increasing, it is becoming a more vital part of the track for industrial designers at JMU.</span></span>
