Closing Time

This is my last week working with Rice 360. Which is crazy. I have worked with this organization for 3 years now, on a wide range of projects. I’ve met some of my best friends through this program, and it has truly opened my eyes to the world at large. This...

Fresh Off the Assembly Line

Last Wednesday, we drove up to Pride Industries near Sacramento. Not only was this an exciting field trip, it was an excellent opportunity to learn more about the business side of 3SD and see the actual assembly process. Since I’m new, I was given a tour of the...
