Every year, OFS sponsors two student roundtables through the International Interior Design Association (IIDA).

The roundtables consists of a panel of professionals sharing insights that can help students and new professionals grow their career in design. Everything from putting together the right portfolio, to picking the right firm, to nailing the interview.

The target audience for this episode is students. However, if you're going through the interview process at any stage of your career or you take your role as a mentor seriously, this episode is also for you.

This year, we decided to bring this event to Tennessee State University. TSU is an HBCU with a growing interior design program. We brought in some impressive talent for this panel including:

Mike Johnson II, Associate Principal at Hickok Cole

Sofia Acosta, Designer at Gensler

Tonya Spry, Director of Human Resources at Gresham Smith.

Hosting the panel is the one and only Cheryl Durst, Executive Vice President and CEO of IIDA and host of The Skill Set podcast.
