Leadership on the
vest design project
is defined both
by the principal
investigator's
diverse knowledge
and background, and
by her commitment
and capacity to engage
students across
different faculties
on a common project.
Professor Marsha
Jorgensen of the
School of Fashion is
well equipped in the
functional fashion
department. Jorgensen's
expertise has also
contributed to keeping
a complex project on
time and on budget.
Marsha: I look at
leadership more as a
guidance than, you know,
giving like a gentle nudge
or giving suggestion then
having the iron fist.
I don't think that
really helps especially
in the creative
process when you're
trying to develop
something, so leadership,
I view leadership more
as giving the students
the opportunity
to realize their
potential and go
forward with it.
Student #1: This
project was incredible
for learning to work
within a team.
Again excellent because
it was students from
different disciplines.
We had a lot of
experience with doing
presentations and
presenting to our
funders and really taking,
I guess, leadership
and ownership for the
project and promoting
it and telling people
about all the merits of
I guess, for us mainly,
working with students from
different disciplines.
The collaborative
approach was phenomenal
for us students.

Student #2: In the
design aspect you
still do really need
to be creative and
working with other
people is really the
only way you can to
get maximum creativity
because if you're
sitting in a room just
coming up with designs
there's just things
you're never gonna
think of and having a
team who also has to
be creative is the
best way, I've
noticed, to get these
projects done.
