The Kent State School of Fashion is welcoming student groups and individuals to join us in understanding more about the fashion industry and its careers, while encouraging collaborative learning and utilization of state-of-the-art resources and facilities. Fashion Futures is an immersive experience that will give students a behind the scenes look at how students prepare for a career in fashion and why we are ranked as the number two public fashion program in the United States.

Presented by the 5X���� Museum in partnership with the National First Ladies Library & Museum

This event takes you on a journey through the remarkable life of Elizabeth Keckley, who purchased her own freedom from slavery and became a successful entrepreneur and personal couturier to First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln. A cape made by Keckley for Lincoln will be displayed at the event, as we uncover how fashion can illuminate historical narratives, from the lives of First Ladies to often-overlooked histories.

LGBTQIA+ histories and present-day cultures are filled with examples of ordinary people and extraordinary collectives who have courageously confronted homophobic and transphobic bias, discrimination, and violence. This story circle, facilitated by Caitlin Kane with Rebecca Catto, Erica Pelz, and Lauren Vachon, will offer attendees opportunities to hear about some of these past and present-day figures of hope and to share their own stories of finding hope and courage in difficult times.

Check out off-campus living options for next year!

Opening Circle: “Together in Radical Hope”
The opening circle is a moment to come together, show up for each other, be in community, to set the tone for the day. It will involve a libation and land acknowledgement, a collective introduction to the intentions of the event, and an embodied co-created activity. Above all, the opening circle is a moment to be present together with emphasis on mutual care and community solidarity in radical hope.
