The Impact of Save A Sample!
Save A Sample! provides students with free access to high quality design materials. This initiative not only supports sustainability by diverting materials from the landfill, but also fosters creativity and innovation in the classroom. Students are more engaged and inspired when they can work with real-world materials.
Here’s what schools are saying about the impact of Save A Sample!
“The gift of materials from Save A Sample! are a treasure trove to our students in our undergraduate program, and to our STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) Summer Program.”
Jo Broderick, Montserrat College of Art
“Our students really responded with excitement and enthusiasm to the materials (from Save A Sample!). We appreciate so much all the efforts of Save a Sample! and we are happy to take a small part in keeping these materials out of landfills.”
Susan McNeil, Studio Manager, Fibers Department, Massachusetts College of Art and Design
“Our students have benefitted tremendously from having these professional samples added to our Resource Library, especially items which are sometimes difficult for students to obtain from vendors. And it feels great to be helping the environment by saving samples from going into a landfill!”
Ada M. Tremonte, Teaching Professor and Program Director of Interior Design, Drexel University
“I remember being a student and finding it SO useful to have samples for presentations. In the real world, it's so important to actually see and touch what you're specing so we're very excited to donate these samples to design students.”
