Last spring, the instructors of Environment, Textiles and Design course number 501 set out to accomplish what few college courses strive to achieve: education through community service.
Titled “Threads of Remembrances: Infant Bereavement,” ETD 501 was a joint effort between Meriter Hospital and the Textile and Apparel Design program of the UW Human Ecology department, aimed at utilizing the skills of UW-Madison students to help grieving parents better cope with the loss of their premature infant.
