Interim Associate Dean of the Koppelman School of Business Myles Bassell participated in the panel alongside the fashion designers and, the event concluded with a networking session and free professional headshots for attendees.
鈥淲e鈥檙e incredibly proud of our students for the hard work they put into this event,鈥� said Assistant Professor Cindy Ngoc Pham, a CUNY career success fellow and event organizer. 鈥淭his was a fantastic opportunity for them to apply what they鈥檝e learned in class to a major industry event, and the results were outstanding.鈥�
The event was organized by a team led by Ezae Darby, a fashion designer who is majoring in business administration with a concentration in marketing and is taking Pham鈥檚 Principles of Selling class. The day was particularly special for Darby because his mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother attended his first successful event. His grandmother, a proud alumna of 可乐视频, expressed her pride in seeing him continue the 可乐视频 family connection: 鈥淚 had all great professors at 可乐视频. That is why I am confident in the education here.鈥�
