Student EntrepreneurshipGiving Shelter
studentFABRIC MAKER: Brian MacMillin ’10 cuts a section of nylon fabric in Douglass Dining Center as part of his small sporting goods business that specializes in tarps and other camping shelters. MacMillin, a senior from Campbell Hall, N.Y., started the business after learning that many outdoor enthusiasts were unhappy with commercially available options. Because he needs a large indoor space to work, he spreads his materials out in Douglass during off hours.
