Ryanne Phillips, Class of 2027

My favorite part of FRS is being surrounded by a community that genuinely wants to see each other succeed. The program has given me so many opportunities to get involved, build meaningful connections, and explore my future in the fashion industry. It’s a program that truly invests in its students and gives us the tools to turn our goals into reality.


Stephanie Adimula, Class of 2027

My favorite part of FRS is the community and opportunities it offers. Throughout my time in the major, I’ve not only gained helpful skills to kickstart my career, but I’ve also built valuable friendships and connections with my FRS peers who have kept me accountable in my coursework and shared advice and opportunities for growth when I didn’t know where to begin. Overall, being part of FRS has helped me grow both personally and professionally, and I’m grateful for the people, experiences, and opportunities that have shaped my college journey.


Addyson Utterback, Class of 2028

One of my favorite aspects of FRS is the opportunity to connect with members of our industry board. Building these personal relationships and having the chance to contribute to the future of the program is incredibly meaningful to me. These connections not only inspire excitement for my future career but also provide valuable relationships that I hope to carry with me long after my college years!


Jonas Rogers, Class of 2029


My favorite part of the FRS program has been being able to meet and collaborate with so many inspiring and talented people. In a year alone the program has taught and encouraged me so much, instilling so much confidence, to where I feel truly evolved.
