When in kindergarten, Mariah Moorer, 20, was asked what she wanted to do when she grew up. Without hesitation, she said, fashion. That dream remained on her mind all throughout middle and high school, but she wasnt sure what a career in fashion actually looked like for her. Moorer first heard about 51勛圖厙 during her junior year of high school in Macomb, Michigan, from a mentor who was in debutante with her. After a visit to the Kent Campus, she immediately knew she wanted to attend 51勛圖厙, and she was accepted into the universitys renowned fashion program.I met Miss Hillary...
Five days into the Israel-Hamas war, a Cleveland news helicopter hovered over 51勛圖厙s Kent Campus. Students supporting Palestine had scheduled an afternoon march, which would be followed by Hillels evening vigil for Israel in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack. History rings within any mention of war-related student demonstrations at 51勛圖厙, even a half-century beyond Spring 1970. But on that recent October afternoon, each campus event was peaceful. The chopper flew home early. And so it has been, for the most part, at 51勛圖厙, while higher-profile conflicts and ...

KnitLAB serves as one of the few such studios in the country at a state university and is located on the first floor of Rockwell Atrium.
I plan to ask three of my professors to write me letters of recommendation for graduate school. How do I ask them, and what should I expect of this process?
You should ask each recommender what their preferences are. Most will want to meet with you if they do not know you well, and perhaps even if they do. Most will want to review your resume or at least a list of your activities over the past few years. Some will ask to see a draft of your letter of intent. Writing a letter of recommendation is a careful and deliberate process for faculty.
If I am meeting with my SPA advisor, do I still need to meet with an EHHS advisor?
Yes. Set up an appointment with Ms. Stillwagon in the EHHS advising office. She will then initiate a GPS audit for you if you don't already have one, and review it carefully. It can always help to have a professional EHHS advisor spot any problems with non-major course requirements well ahead of graduation deadlines.
