Biographical/historical note

The Extension branch of TEAR continues to offer short courses, seminars, conferences, and other continuing education opportunities on and off campus to alumni, textiles executives, and other industry partners. In collaboration with private industry partners, the Applied Research branch sponsors textiles research projects intended to supplement traditional education and encourage participation in textile industry research and development.
