Being a part of Student-Made has greatly impacted my experience not only in college but in life. This community has taught me to challenge myself and figure out what it takes to run a business.

The Student Made community continues to inspire me, and the people I’ve met along the way help me feel like my dream is within reach! I hope going forward, I can continue to learn more from other artists within this community, near and far!

Abby shares the value of telling your unique story and investing in community this holiday season!

It’s funny, because our communities don’t magically appear around the holiday season, and then disappear right after. It’s just something about this time that emphasizes their importance and impact in our lives.

Being a part of this team means helping a new generation of young entrepreneurs grow and prosper. My main source of motivation to continue improving each day is seeing our creators get excited for more opportunities through the program, and seeing them grow their sales.

I am extremely thankful for the Student-Made community. It’s awesome to be a part of a community doing the same thing you are! It’s a group of individuals going through many of the same struggles and the community shows me I’m not alone.

Lindsay’s Letter is a monthly note of encouragement & inspiration for our creative community, offered by our Co-Founder. Today is about appreciating where our past has led us today.

“I went through a lot of changes in my four years at UVM. Those changes were all reflected in my art as I started to just create things that make me happy or remind me of things I love about myself.”

“I learned that no matter the situation, if you try your hardest, and act with patience and kindness you can always make a positive impact. I use these as foundations for being a leader in Student-Made.”

Marquette student-entrepreneurs are now reaching customers on and off-campus better than ever before… and a talented student-manager team is running the whole platform.

"I am an avid artist, writer, and community organizer. Taking all of my interests and experiences and mixing them with Student-Made has given me the opportunity to more consistently engage with my art-making practices while in school."

“If you can treat every adverse situation as an opportunity to learn and improve, instead of as a setback, you will gain so much more from that experience. I carry this mindset into Student-Made, and it allows me to be a better manager for our team. ”

“I had to really sit with myself and understand that there is no clear road path. Obviously there have been thousands of successful artists, but every single one has done it differently So it’s just about learning how you can do it, and how you can get better at it every single day.”
