Rachele and Jennifer both taught at the University of the Arts, undergraduate Graphic Design program in Philadelphia, so this was also a reunion for the former faculty colleagues! Rachele also invited Jennifer to visit a local print shop where she was taking her students to silkscreen their own design projects. The shop prints t-shirts commercially, so it was outfitted with multiple t-shirt printing stations that held multiple screens and had the ability to rotate to expedite the printing process.

Local artists t-shirts were also on sale in the shop, so Jennifer was able to collect some keepsakes from her trip to Illinois, and the great experience spending time with Rachele and her students.
