Fashion Management Students Facilitate Virtual Networking Events to Connect with Classmates

Due to the constraints on social gatherings, the Fashion Management graduate certificate program's Networking Committee initiated virtual networking events in order to facilitate communication and establish a strong community among students.

Two events were successfully launched with great success. The first event, “Creating Meaningful Connection”, was held on November 20th, 2020, and produced a relaxing environment for the students to converse and get to know each other better. To build upon the relaxing environment, the Networking Committee ordered coffee for students in attendance.

“Back to School” was the second virtual event held on January 28th, 2021. The event aimed to strengthen connections between students while also growing fashion related knowledge through games and competitions. Final prizes were awarded to the winning team as well as the individuals who contributed the most.

Positive and appreciative feedback was received from the students who attended both events.
