Fashion Board at USC has just completed its fall membership drive. Over 150 students across many majors on campus have elected to join the board, making it one of the largest student organizations on campus. In September, Fashion Board hosted its annual Style Workshop in conjunction with Parents Weekend, with over 60 in attendance. In October, the board partnered with Lee Jeans to promote Lee National Denim Day and raise funds for breast cancer awareness and research. Over $700.00 was collected, in addition to over 100 pair of jeans, which will be donated to a local clothing closet. Later in October, Fashion Board partnered with Lancome at the Russell House Patio for Lancome's fall event, "All Dolled Up." Watch out for Fashion Board's big celebration of style in April: Fashion Week 2012. A style symposium and fashion show will be featured, along with other exciting events, April 9-13. For additional information, contact Dr. Sallie Boggs, advisor, at 777-3653 or sboggs@hrsm.sc.edu. Spring semester membership drive will begin in mid-January 2012.
