Never burn bridges with classmates or co-workers, always ask questions, keep learning because fashion is forever changing, and do not be afraid to take risks. Learn to work together as a team: you never work alone, and teamwork is the key to successful business.
Alumni Spotlight: Elise Babich Brown
Class of 2006
Now Digital Merchandising Manager at InMobi, Babich built her resume in large department stores and small specialty boutiques. This experience in-store proved imperative when moving to online sales and merchandising, and a better understanding of consumer behavior than her peers. She recommends that students stay open to trying new things, to take risks, and ask for more.
