Stevenson University’s Theatre and Media Performance presents a playful new adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved novel SENSE AND SENSIBILITY that follows the fortunes (and misfortunes) of the Dashwood sisters—sensible Elinor and hypersensitive Marianne—after their father’s sudden death leaves them financially destitute and socially vulnerable.
A short tour of the studios and labs that support the Fashion Design program at Stevenson. Students will master the understanding of fashion and costume, consumer psychology, materials, and techniques of apparel construction. With studio work as a primary focus, you will have the extensive hands-on experience and skills needed for a successful career in fashion.
Students from The Mill Agency worked with the Friends of Patterson Park on a rebranding of the park’s iconic Observatory; they created a new logo, promotional materials, and worked with local ice cream shop BMORE LICKS to create an exclusive new flavor, all to reintroduce the Observatory to the public.

“In small classes, expert faculty get to know students’ individual goals and aspirations so they may guide them in the direction of their dreams while providing the skills and foundations necessary to keep their feet planted firmly on the ground.”
