Fashion and Textile Management’s
Industry Advisory Network
•
•
•
Background: The Fashion and Textile Management Program housed within
the Textile and Apparel, Technology and Management Department has been
following a three year Strategic Plan that envisioned stronger partnerships and
collaboration with the Global Textile Industry. With continued enrollment
growth rates, the need to connect students and faculty with an expanded scope
of executives and companies that provide feedback of the Program and hire
its’ graduates is important.
The Department founded the Industry Advisory Board in 2008, consisting of
22 members who meet twice a year on campus with faculty and students.
The Department also saw the need for a series of Global Industry Advisory
Networks to complement the Board. The Plan calls for 4-5 of these networks
located in key Industry regions around the world, that are a part of the large
global community of Textiles. The first Industry Advisory Network was
founded in New York City (2010), with Asia Network February 28, 2013
The Role of the
Industry Advisory Network
• Attend Annual Network Strategy Session
• Spread the Word about the Program
• Support Students through New Hires and
Internships
• Provide Feedback to the College
