Fashion is signified and utilized across the globe. The second annual Fashion, Style & Global Culture Conference will focus on how fashion is portrayed in all types of popular and global culture. This conference aims to push the envelope of scholarship to gain new understandings about the visual expression of fashion, lifestyles, global culture and textiles through all forms. 

Four Design & Merchandising and Fashion Design students received $5,000 awards from the 2019 YMA Fashion Scholarship Fund—the largest fashion scholarship program in the world.
