A C A D E M I C S YEAR IN REVIEW INTERACTIVE LEARNING: Mannequins, gar- ment racks and accessory displays outfit the North Miami fashion lab's retail space behind a glass storefront window. Software programs enable students to virtually design retail stores and marketing materials. A task table, where students can experiment with fabrics, com- pletes the room. It's tailor-made for JWU North Miami students interested in learning about the real world of fashion merchandising. But that's not all: North Miami students in busi- ness, sports/entertainment/event management and golf management have similar new spaces. All senior-level business seminars are in a rede- signed classroom featuring an executive-style conference table and LED TVs tuned to business news around the globe. Modeled after a corpo- rate boardroom, the space is designed to foster group work among business majors. The new SEE and Golf Management Center is home to a state-of-the art golf simulator and putting green, as well as multipurpose meet- ing space that can serve as a classroom and accommodate events on a small stage. In the works are an editing studio and an LED ticker showcasing the latest developments in sports and entertainment news.
