Guest Speaker Knowledge: FM 226 Presentation

Professor Werner will be coming to speak to us at tomorrow’s meeting about the FM 226 program! It is the International Buying and Marketing class that counts for 3 credits. The estimated dates for the upcoming summer 2014 trip are May 29-June 23.

The course description as seen on the FIT website is: “Students, under faculty supervision, visit London, Paris and Florence to study the factors involved in fashion marketing and the international customer’s attitudes about fashion. Discussions involve methods, practices, and reasons for importation and exportation. Students are expected to complete written assignments.”

The prerequisite for taking the class is the approval of the instructor, so it is something you have to apply and interview for. (This means get your DARs and resume ready!)
