The school was founded by Violet T. Lewis in 1920. Lewis originally designed the college for Black women seeking secretarial skills. The new school will re-open as the Pensole Lewis College of Business and Design and will be industrial design focused.
This May, Michigan’s first and only HBCU will re-open as Pensole Lewis College of Business and Design. The industrial design-focused school will offer unique masterclasses, internships, and job training to 300 students in its first semester.
