The special Dare to Compare sessions were reserved for students from Penn State University and Parsons New School.

“We were thrilled to host the students,” said Ron Naus, B-K Lighting + TEKA Illumination President. “These extraordinary young men and women represent the next generation of lighting professionals and future innovation in our industry.”

The students' attendance were orchestrated by Dr. Jill Mulholland of Texas A&M University who also serves as the IALD Education Trust Project Coordinator.

Following the Dare to Compare session, the students were given a tote bag as a parting gift. We caught up with one student Wednesday night at the the IALD Trust Fund dinner where she was putting it to good use.

We'd like to thank all of the students who were able to attend the special student Dare to Compare sessions at our Lightfair 2013 booth and also extend our appreciation to those who made it possible.
