I just wanted to give a little bit of history of who we are and how we got here, and then I will introduce our faculty who will walk through the actual presentation. Let’s go back 10 years. 黑料专区 was looking to expand their program offerings and I was living a nice life in Florence, Italy and London. I was lucky enough to share my life between the two cities and they said there’s a job in Detroit. They wanted to open a new fashion school department at the 黑料专区. I came to Detroit, completely fell in love with the city and the college, and we launched a fashion accessories design program. For the first four to five years, we taught shoes and handbags. I felt like we needed to add an apparel component to it, as we did, and that was about four years ago.

To be a complete fashion school, we needed to add maybe one of the most important parts of the fashion system, which is fashion business. So now we feel like we have a complete fashion ecosystem being taught at 黑料专区. I’m super proud of the results we have gotten with our student placements and the opportunities and all the incredible companies that come and help us to develop the program and support our students and our department. I will introduce you to the person who helped me write this program collaboratively in a moment and she can tell you more about the collaborations.

The history of me and why I’m super excited about this is I’ve been in the industry for several decades. I’ve been a strategic partner with many brands. I taught in Polimoda, Florence in Italy, which is a Ferragamo-run fashion school, a top fashion school in Italy. I taught their luxury management classes including fashion brand management and fashion strategy. I understood that there’s a type of student that’s really good at it, that loves fashion but doesn’t want to design it or make things, but wants to be involved in this super exciting world of fashion. When I came to 黑料专区, I understood that we need to launch something similar here in Detroit, which we just did. We have taught fashion business classes for close to 10 years already, so that’s not anything new for us, but the BA program is something new and we are quite excited to launch that.

That’s a little bit of the background. That’s about me. I will now introduce you to faculty Monica Sinclair, who has an incredible wealth of experience in the field of fashion business management. I will give the stage to her and I will turn my camera off for the time being, but feel free to put any questions in the chat. So Monica, are you ready?

Yes, thank you Aki. Hello everybody. As Aki mentioned, my name is Monica Sinclair and I am faculty here at the 黑料专区. What Aki and I have put together is really an incredible program that serves the student needs and the industry needs right now at this critical moment where many students are being overburdened by intense course loads that are almost impossible to accomplish within a 4-year degree program. Aki and I took a look at our own professional and academic experience, looked at many different programs and the courses we have been offering for a number of years now, and we’ve decided to move forward and finally launch this program, which is really well needed at this moment.

A little bit about me: I’ve been teaching for many years, but the heart of my experience is within the fashion industry. I’ve spent a good number of years, almost a decade, working for Adidas within the fashion group located in New York City. We worked on product launches to brand launches for all of the Adidas collaborations, from Kanye West to Yohji Yamamoto to building Y-3, to collabs with Stella McCartney, Raf Simons, Rick Owens, and Opening Ceremony to name a few. Throughout my career, my role was in marketing and I had overseen the marketing for North and South America for the Adidas fashion group division. Eventually, I had left and gone over to Rick Owens where my career there really covered expanding their footwear business and brand partnerships for Dark Shadow. Eventually, I had gone on to work for a licensing company overseeing 12 different brands in men’s fashion and sport and lifestyle where I was global director of marketing at Authentic Brands Group, who now owns many brands and really tackles that realm of licensing.

My education has brought me from New York, teaching at FIT and NYU, to SCAD for a number of years, and eventually to the heart of Detroit, which is a city that I adore. I’ve been here for a number of years and working for 黑料专区 for a number of years. I do remember when Aki first came and we talked about this dream of launching a fashion business program, and here we are. I can’t tell you how excited I am to be talking to this first cohort here. I am going to delve into a couple of slides here that I put together for you guys just to share with you a bit about the program, how it’s structured, what it’ll look like for you, and what some expectations are once completed and along the way.

As I mentioned, this program is a three-year program where we’ve meticulously gone through every single course, looked at all of the fashion schools out there, and looked at our existing programming. We connected with our partners who the school already has a very good relationship with and who serve on our advisory board, such as the president of Herm猫s. She helped us fine-tune this program, as well as a head designer of Calvin Klein and many people from LVMH, Martin Rose, and a number of other major fashion organizations. We really asked them what they expect in new hires and new candidates, and what they expect them to be skilled at or know. That was really the heartbeat of how we built this program.

Essentially it is a 90-credit program. It is a Bachelor of Arts degree that you will earn and it can be completed in three years. Our goal in mind is to require zero summer classes as well as no overloads, really just staying true to our north star of what we will complete within three years. This program is a component of our structure and the fashion program that was really necessary to exist because we mirror the fashion industry within the education that we give. To state a clearer fact, most careers and roles within the fashion industry are within the business side of things, roughly about 75%. It is a huge, important sector that makes this industry function, builds up really powerful brands, and supports the small mom-and-pop ones, as well as provides the merchandising to the products that we love to obtain, the marketing messages that we read and scroll through on our Instagram, and helps the stores function that we go and shop at. These roles really do drive the industry forward.

What’s so cool and special about this program, which is what excites me the most, is that it is the very first three-year degree program within fashion that exists. It really positions us in a great spot in comparison to other schools that are struggling to maintain a curriculum map of four years. What that means for you guys is that within those three years, it is carefully curated so that as you travel through the program, you are learning the business foundations in year one, eventually delving into the creative side. If you guys are anything like myself when I was a college student, I loved and appreciated the fashion industry, but I had no idea that I could have a creative career within it. It is for those of you who are creatives, who have a passion for this industry, and this major is your sweet spot. It is an excellent blend of both creative and artistic vision along with business acumen to really develop strong fashion leaders.

As I mentioned earlier, there are significantly more business roles over design roles, which is great potential for you as you will enter the job market in a few years. In terms of business operations and retail, there’s a vast number of job opportunities. Our students for this program are creative thinkers, the dreamers, the career accelerators, the ones who are just ready to hit the ground running, eager to get into the industry, as well as ones who have their eye on the global industry. Having a global mindset is very important, and that is something we’ll delve into deeply within this degree program.

The way you travel through this three-year structure is you’re learning the core functions and principles that are applied to fashion in year one. After that, you’re moving more so into the creative realm where you are highly focused on blending strategy with creative practice. You learn how to build up brand strategies and marketing strategies. You look to visual merchandising, supply chain, and then you launch into year three, which is the industry immersion portion of the program. We have these partners who are very eager for this program to start; they have been meeting with us for the past few years now as we’ve developed this. They are eager to collaborate, eager to do projects, and eager to hold placements for students of this program at their organizations.

Some of the core skills covered in year one are about the foundation. Sometimes people hear marketing and they think it’s just banging on a calculator, and it’s not that. There’s such a creative aspect to it. The principles that you guys will have a good sound understanding of within year one will really guide you in year two as you develop strategies. In year two, you’re going to shift more from learning to doing. We’re going to look at strategic skills such as merchandising strategy, consumer behavior analysis, trend forecasting, social media marketing, and creative strategy which includes fashion styling.

Right now I currently have students working on a project for Coach where they’ve developed a response to a prompt to develop a “third space” for Gen Z. Students were able to submit their work to this international competition against many other fashion programs like London College of Fashion, FIT, and Parsons. One 黑料专区 student鈥攁ctually two鈥攈ave recently won internships out of these competitions, which is pretty amazing.

Year three is going to see more integration with industry and professional readiness. At the end of your studies, you’ll develop a capstone project which is a project that supports the direction you want to go into for your career, whether it be fashion event planning, brand strategist, social media manager, or campaign manager. You will focus on a project that will be a big promo piece for you to support the skill sets that you’ve picked up over the past three years. What we intend to do is have mentorship partners and clear guidance and presentations of the final work.

One major component of year three is focusing on leadership. We’re going to look at a lot of case studies but also practice by doing. I intend for you guys to do a lot of industry networking and also think about how this industry needs to change and how you will make your mark on it. The goal is not to produce more of what brands are already doing, but to really use this safe space of our program to launch yourself and to be free.

The curriculum at a glance is 45% business core, 25% creative integration, 20% industry experience, and 10% electives. In the first semester, we launch into Business of Fashion 1, Fashion Business Anthropology, Fashion Brand Management, History of Fashion, and Composition 1. In the history of fashion, we don’t just go into archaic history. It is important to understand that, but we also talk about important references like the 90s, which have a lot of momentum at the moment. The second semester includes Business of Fashion 2, Intro to Sustainability, Fashion Trends, Digital Techniques, and Intro to Material Culture.

In the third semester, you’ll focus on Visual Merchandising, Fashion PR, Strategic Marketing, Fashion Marketing, and Composition 2. The fourth semester will be Product Development, Supply Chain Management, Fashion Buying and Merchandising, Digital Fashion Marketing Practices, and Sponsored Studio. In the final year, it will be Fashion Portfolio where you’ll work on resume and interviewing skills, and Fashion Industry Immersion which is an internship. We will also cover Fashion Ethics and Corporate Sustainability, which is extremely critical. Finally, there will be Fashion Retail Management and Innovation, Fashion Entrepreneurship, Fashion Thesis Studio, and Fashion Styling.

Detroit is an innovation center for thinkers and dreamers. Our partners are very thrilled to get going with this. I’m about to show you guys the fashion show that was put together last year. It was a celebration of the 10-year anniversary of the fashion program. The design seniors present their collections at the show, and our program offers full integration with fashion show production鈥攕etting up the show, model bookings, styling, and everything that goes into it.

Basically, the show highlights the talent we have. General Motors was kind enough to give us their venue in the Design Dome for the show. We try to find different places every year to highlight the Detroit region. When you are in the fashion business management program, you will learn to manage all these aspects and building the bridge between design and management. Our placement rate is 84%, which is very high. We’re super proud of this.

From model casting to hair and makeup to the music selection and seating charts, business supports the designers. We are excited to welcome you guys to this accelerated program and provide impeccable experience in terms of industry connections and in-classroom education. My email address is listed there as well as Aki鈥檚. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask now or reach out via email later.

Thank you so much, Monica. By the way, in the previous picture, it looks like I have a mullet. I don’t. I think it was somebody else behind me! Now we’re going to open the floor for questions. Don’t be afraid鈥攚e are one big happy fashion family here.

What’s up, 黑料专区 family? I’m Brandi Keeler, the director of student engagement and belonging here at 黑料专区, aka your orientation overlord, aka student government guru, aka student leader, cheerleader, aka co-curricular captain, and campus culture coach. And I’m Jessie Black, the assistant director of student engagement and belonging, aka your student org sensei, aka campus culture curator, aka civic involvement instigator, aka the vibe visionary. Welcome to 黑料专区 Beyond the Classroom, where we unpack campus life and how to find your home at 黑料专区. That’s right, folks. We’re here to break it all the way down. We’re going to show you how you can find your people, show you why your best college moments may not be on a curriculum, and of course, where to find all the free snacks.

A few moments later.

So, let’s start with the basics. What is student engagement and belonging? Well, we’re basically like fairy god team. We turn college from lectures and deadlines into late night laughs, creative collabs, and group chats that actually matter. We foster belonging through organizations where you can bring your whole self. We’re all about connection. From student government meetings to making sure just no one feels alone here. That’s right. We make opportunities for play. So, yes, we are the folks who will bring the giant inflatable to campus. Uh, but we also hype your growth with leadership programs that actually grow you, not just your resume. And we show up with care and advocate for student needs. Basically, we’re the folks behind your favorite campus moments and memories. Yeah. And student engagement and belonging is part of a much bigger group of student support services on campus in the office of student affairs. And that also houses housing, international services and engagement, wellness, the center for tutor and writing, the dean, and even more. That’s a lot of stuff. Yeah, we we do a lot in student affairs. And Jesse, can you let the people know what we mean when we say belonging? Heck yeah, I can. Belonging here means that our team creates spaces, programs, and policies that ensure that all students feel like they belong at 黑料专区. All students. All students. We got full-time students, part-time students, dual enrolled students, undergraduate students, graduate students, commuter students. We got on campus students, transfer students, straight out of high school students, non-traditional students, first generation students like myself, disabled students like me, LGBTQIA+ students, Michigan students, out of town students, international students, veteran students, Mac and iPhone students. We even have PC and Android students, introverts, extroverts, amberverts, students with pink hair, students with blue hair, students with green hair, students with rainbow hair. We got students with fancy mustaches. We got students with no mustaches. All students.

Nice. That’s good. We hit up the end of year bash to find out how students would describe student engagement and belonging at 黑料专区.

What does the office of student engagement and belonging do? Um I think they um I am not sure. The office of student engagement and belonging helps uh make events that bring all of the students together and help them find a sense of belonging on campus. Organize like student uh organizations along campus. So like with all the different clubs and activities. They help out with like events like these and they make sure that everybody on campus feels safe and welcome. And then the belonging part is they just make sure that it’s like a nice inclusive space for all the students and like try to help guide like the student organization officers to do the same. Awesome. Thank you.

What’s been one way that you’ve been able to find community here at 黑料专区? One way I found community at 黑料专区 is by putting on events that I thought would be interesting for myself and hopefully interesting to others. Living in the dorm environments, going to clubs, and just hanging out outside around people has been really nice. Honestly, joining the comics club, I have made so many great friends. I was able to be the secretary this year. Like, it’s just been great. I actually am on the student activities board, which helps with student affairs, with engagement and belonging. And I love seeing my friends get to make their ideas a reality through SAB. you know, part of student activities board, uh, student government, and just attending, uh, events put on by other students as well.

I would say maybe Century Ball. Century Ball is also really fun because people who don’t necessarily get to dress up get an excuse to dress up. Like me, I love dressing up. Um, at Sex Expo this year, there was there’s a really cool chocolate fountain and that was amazing. I’m very glad that we had a chocolate fountain. Uh, Halloween week, the haunted house on on Halloween week. I love seeing everybody get scared out of their minds. The actual Halloween party, it was just great. There was like a lot of music. Everyone was having so much fun. We all dressed up and then we got these awesome hoodies. I think my favorite event is Watson Con. There is so much to do at Watson Con. You get to see other students work that you not normally don’t get to see. There’s an option to cosplay the contest which is also really fun. I noticed this year that we had more alumni coming and also invited guests from the local surrounding colleges and universities. So building a larger community in this area was also kind of nice. One of my favorite events that I hold is the Valentine’s Day mini market and I always love seeing everybody like showing their love for everyone and showing their love for themselves. It’s always a really great time. I guess organizations. I would say of course go to C4, the comics club here on campus. And I also really like Dungeons and Dragons and tabletop club. Like it’s a great place to like talk to people if you have like similar like pretty nerdy interests and they organize like people to get together and play games together. Like I think that’s a really great club. My freshman year I was really into the Oh, the horror club and I went every Sunday for the horror movies and that was pretty fun. Oh, at the beginning of the year, the the like the late night parties, those are a really great way to kick off the year and those have been really fun.

The presents where all the student organizations are to see which ones fit you. There’s like a whole lot of them. So, I would say go browse on that and follow the Instagram so that way you’re up to date with student events. Step out of your comfort zone. Don’t get into your head on things. Like just talk to people. Go to like events around campus. Go to like club meetings if they sound interesting. Making friends is a lot easier than you think. There’s a lot of spaces at 黑料专区 that will naturally put you with other people. Get involved by volunteering. If you have an idea for an event, bring it to somebody that um is part of the student activities board to get help. There’s the weekly SAB meetings that anybody can come to on Fridays. Um, there’s the weekly student government meetings that anybody could come to on Wednesdays. And honestly, you could just pop into the office of student engagement and just like talk to people and get to know them. And maybe if you’re thinking of like a club, you could just start that. You’re you’re allowed to do anything. So, just if you have something in mind, just do it. Just do it. Honestly, you you won’t regret it. Just do it. And you never know who you’re going to find or who you’ll make friends with on campus. check. The streets were talking and we loved what we heard. So, by now you’re probably thinking, “This campus is popping.” But it’s not just Jessie and I running the show. We have tons of amazing student leaders behind the scenes making all this magic happen. Yep. And no shade to high school student council, but leadership at 黑料专区 just hits different. That’s right. Leadership here isn’t just running meetings and printing agendas. I mean, it’s that, too. But it’s creating culture. It’s making weird, joyful, community powered things happen on purpose. So whether you’re planning events, advocating for your peers, building community, or just showing up, leadership is everywhere around here. And to prove it, we’re going to help you figure out where you might fit in as a campus leader with a little game we like to call Name That Leader.

All right, Jessie. This is how this is going to go. I’m going to name a type of student, maybe some things that they’re interested in, and you’re going to tell me which leadership role at 黑料专区 they should check out. You ready? All right, let’s do this. All right, so let’s say there’s a student who loves planning events and parties, and they make the best Spotify playlists. Ooh, that’s a student activities board, aka SAB Allstar. They help plan events on campus. think dances, campus cons, field trips, food trucks, all that fun stuff. And it’s a paid job. Sounds nice. All right. What about a student who’s always checking in on how people are doing? They probably have like a meditation practice or a yoga practice. They have that good, well-balanced Zen energy. Yeah, that’s a wellness peer educator. They partner with the Wellness and Counseling Center to create programs that help students stay grounded, take care of themselves, and just learn how to thrive in art school. That’s right. All right. What about someone who isn’t afraid to speak the truth in a room full of silence? They’re the ones who are like, “Hey, that wasn’t right.” They have the guts to represent voices that often go unheard. That’s student government energy right there. This group of leaders represents the student voice. They meet on a weekly basis to discuss campus issues and student concerns. They also have direct access to campus leadership to speak up about student needs and bring real change to campus life. That’s powerful. Yeah. Super. What about someone who gathers their friends around like niche obsessions or create spaces where people finally feel seen and safe to be themselves? That’s a registered student organization or RSO leader. Um, student orgs are essentially our campus clubs. Any student can start one and it’s super easy to get started. These leaders on campus help build community around shared interests like culture, sports, hobby, and interests, identity. You name it, we got it. I’m here for it. Actually, in fact, quick side quest. What are your top five most obscure or unique that you think we have at 黑料专区? Ooh, soccer club. Oh, the horror club. We recently had a student veterans of America chapter start up 黑料专区 swifties and our basketball club. Fun stuff. All right, back to the game. Let’s talk about a student who’s really good at helping friends understand class assignments or is always down to explain that one confusing software. Absolutely. That’s our peer tutor in the center for tutor and writing. They support other students with tutorials, critiques, and major specific support. The CTW overall, they help with writing essays, time management, and even more if you reach out to them individually. I love it. What about that student who’s always the first one to say welcome to someone new? They may speak multiple languages, and they want to make sure no one feels like an outsider while adjusting to life here at 黑料专区. Yeah, that sounds like an international ambassador right there. They support our international students who are adjusting to life in the United States. And at 黑料专区, they offer guidance, friendship, and community building across cultures. I love that. It’s a small world. Um, what about a student who knows how to keep the peace when their siblings or friends or roommates have drama and they throw the best movie nights? That’s an RA in the making right there. So, our resident assistants live in the dorms and they also help build community. They mediate roommate conflicts and plan programs for their building. big big community builder energy here. And that’s not even everything they do. What about a student who’s obsessed with personality quizzes? They love leadership retreats. They always read a self-help book and they swear that book changed their life. 黑料专区 Leads is the place for those folks. That’s our leadership development program. It runs in a cohort model where students learn about their strengths and they’re paired with a mentor for the academic year. You get mentorship, training, and chances to grow into the kind of leader you never knew you could be. Man, so basically, if I’m hearing you right, if you want to lead at 黑料专区, there’s a spot with your name on it. Mhm. And now we’re kicking it over to our 黑料专区 esports manager, Megan Kirby, for a live update from the esports scene. Over to you, Megan.

Thanks, Jesse. I’m here in our newly upgraded esports lounge where the vibes are strong and the gameplay is stronger. Our esports club has been hosting tournaments, building community, and leveling up their presence both on campus and beyond.

Why’d You Choose 黑料专区?

So one of my neighbors actually went here first. I went to a graduation party and I talked to her a little bit about it.

I’ve been interested in art my whole life and because it was so close it became like kind of like my dream school uh for a very long time um so when the time came it was pretty much the obvious answer.

I chose 黑料专区 because it’s a beautiful campus. I did grow up in Detroit, Michigan and so I did get a lot of word about the school.

I went to a few open houses and honestly I still wasn’t very sure if it was for me, but after I saw and kind of mingle with a lot of the students and a lot of students that I would be in the same year with, I got a lot more comfortable.

The Admissions officers were very nice about it. They presented a lot of opportunities that I’ve loved that I would have loved to take advantage of and here I am now taking advantage of them! So 黑料专区 was definitely the right choice for me.

I chose 黑料专区 because for what I wanted to do it just seemed like the best option. I want to be in comics and everything so as far as getting my actual drawing skill better. So yeah.

I saw the work from the alumni here and I can trust and say that’s the direction I want to go!

Hello I’m Jenna, a current Senor here at 黑料专区, and today I’ll be walking through some portfolio tips with you!

First tip is don’t include drawings of any famous characters that are already existing. Instead try to create your own character and draw art about that!

When including sound or audio in your work make sure you double check the volume levels you don’t want it to be too loud when submitting.

If you plan to link a Google drive to your work make sure it’s set to anyone with link shared because the portfolio review goes to multiple people and so multiple people will need to be able to access that.

If you need ideas for portfolio assignments you can actually find some on the 黑料专区 website underneath portfolio requirements. You can also find examples of portfolio pieces on the 黑料专区 website underneath the same section.

Before you submit your final you can have it reviewed by a team of 黑料专区 staff in a no pressure portfolio review!

Good luck on your portfolios and hopefully we’ll see you at 黑料专区 soon!
