Moderated by Micah Lande: 
Degrees in college have previously been used to narrow profession options down for a student, like art, business, and engineering once you are labeled as your major and with further specializations in your degree, the list of jobs you are qualified to apply for are less than a dozen . Come listen to this panel speak about how they are changing the rules for higher ed by implementing making into their college experiences and opening the door wide open for all the opportunities students have after school. The goal of this session is to bring together a range of voices from college from former students turned into makers space organizers to deans that oversee a college that has a degree in making.
