Queens graphic design students are putting their creativity to work in the Charlotte community.

Through a partnership with the Link Foundation, 14 students in associate professor Melissa Gamez's senior capstone course are working directly with Hispanic entrepreneurs to develop logos, brand guidelines and visual identities to help bring their businesses to life.

The experience gives students the opportunity to work with real clients, build their professional portfolios and make a meaningful impact in the community.

It's hands-on learning that goes beyond the classroom.
