Apparel Design Advisory Council
The Apparel Design Advisory Council is composed of professionals representing various areas of the clothing industry, apparel design program faculty and selected College of Design administrators. The council serves as a sounding board for decisions the program must make, helps us challenge assumptions about the profession, and increase our awareness of changing technology, trends and practices that will influence our students' readiness for their profession. The council provides an opportunity to build relationships, develop resources and strengthen our identity within the profession.
