Question 1

What actually is SFi?

Accepted Answer

SFI is a student-centered, interdisciplinary group with an open-access curriculum. We hold most meetings in the fashion wing of the Myron E. Ullman, Jr. School of Design at the University of Cincinnati's College of Design Architecture Are and Planning (DAAP) but all meetings and activities are open to any UC student. Most programming is also open to the public.
