Since the onset of the project in March, the demand for shields and other PPEs has increased rapidly, to the extent that Montclair State is now partnering with William Paterson University and Montclair Design Week to help produce the shields, and to work on fundraising and communicating with hospitals.
On Oct. 18-27, Montclair Design Week (MDW) will hold more than 60 events including panels, workshops, culinary festivities, installations and competitions.
