Description

Join us at Newhouse 3 as we celebrate the seniors in the Fashion & Beauty Communications Milestone. Students will present their practicums and receive certificates of completion. Practicums range from zines to fashion collections, combining their love for fashion with mass media! More about The Fashion & Beauty Communications Milestone The Sequence The Fashion and Beauty Communications Milestone is a sequence of courses designed for Syracuse University students studying at the Newhouse School and the College of Visual and Performing Arts. The milestone recognizes the tremendous cultural force of fashion and offers students a rigorous, cross-disciplinary concentration of study that provides them with an expertise in fashion and beauty communications. Syracuse University is uniquely qualified to deliver this specialized concentration given the national reputations of the Newhouse School and the Visual and Performing Arts’ Fashion Design program. The Collaboration This collaboration between two professional schools provides a unique and important educational opportunity. As majors in their respective programs, milestone students become either mass-media or fashion design specialists. This experience also allows students to build on a common area of interest—fashion and beauty communications—and gain access to coursework, professors and students beyond their home school and to apply what they have learned to another field of study. Milestone students use required electives efficiently and effectively, securing expertise and experience in another subject and at another school. The Practicum As one of the final requirements to complete the sequence, students gain professional experience by completing a practicum. Examples of past practicums include fashion production opportunities, coordinating the fashion film series, planning guest speakers, multi-platform publications, fashion communications-based internships, research papers and gallery exhibit planning.
