Keyword(s):
As a teaching profession, faculty need not only to accommodate, but also to embrace differences in an increasingly diverse client base. Faculty need to move beyond empathy and doing good to respect and service. To facilitate this, students need to have real clients introduced at an earlier stage – down at foundation level.

The paper describes the direct experience in the foundation studio, and documents how that experience affected students’ view of client.
