Â鶹´«Ã½

Please join us for a special evening at the Â鶹´«Ã½ Museum, as we open an installation on adaptive fashion by Kent State alumna Tracy Vollbrecht. 

Wed., March 5, 5-7 p.m. in the Rockwell Hall Atrium 
5-6 p.m. Conversation on Adaptive Fashion with Tracy Vollbrecht 
6-7 p.m. Light Reception & Museum Exploration 

This program is free and open to the university community and the general public and hosted in partnership with LEAP, an organization redefining disability. We welcome guests and visitors of all abilities. With work featured in WWD, Vogue, Oprah Daily, and Cosmopolitan, Tracy Vollbrecht (Kent School of Fashion, B.F.A. 2018) is a recognized adaptive and universal design consultant. Her first experience in this field came at the Â鶹´«Ã½ Museum, where she discovered through an adaptive technology exhibit that she had unknowingly put universal design principles into action to help her dad manage his Multiple Sclerosis. Tracy founded Vollbrecht Adaptive Consulting in 2022, combining her men’s and women’s wear design experience with her universal and adaptive knowledge. She works with industry-leading clients, such as Target, to transform the fashion industry, demonstrating the value of authentic disability inclusion.
