Inspired by "World News"' "Made in America" series,  incoming freshman Monica Resendiz at Southern Methodist University set out to outfit her new dorm room with only "Made in America" products. Unable to find any, she tweeted the World News team for help. World News' Sharyn Alfonsi responded by featuring Resendiz in a Made in America dorm makeover on the show. Resendiz's resulting American-made dorm room was $92 cheaper than a comparable forgeign-made room! According to economists, if every year, the more than three million incoming college freshman decided to buy sheets from American manufacturers, companies like Celia Rachel could quadruple their workforce and hire more than 1,300 new employees.
