Design and Merchandising Celebrate Design and Merchandising Explore our programs through these student-focused events celebrating student achievement and building connections

The Apparel and Merchandising Emerging Leaders Panel Discussion returned for its third year on Thursday, Oct. 6. The event invites alumni back to the department to share their experiences in industry, career advice, and lessons learned from their time at Colorado State University.

Held by the Department of Design and Merchandising in the Nancy Richardson Design Center, students studying apparel and merchandising were able to create new connections to the industry firsthand, and help boost their future careers.

Colorado State University’s Interior Architecture and Design Program in the Department of Design and Merchandising has a strong focus on industry connections and traveled to Denver with the senior class for mock interviews with industry professionals.
