Are employed or starting a business in fashion/social impact/sustainability
As a GCNYC graduate, you’ll join a community of sustainable changemakers working to revolutionize companies and organizations.
My education from GCNYC has projected into a role of managing and advising my company as they begin their sustainable fashion shift. Understanding the larger picture of global business and climate change is essential to positively impacting today’s fashion companies.
Overall, the education at GCNYC is centered around teaching students to think analytically, assess how we got here, find the unintended consequences that evaded earlier leaders and innovators and assess responsible paths forward that consider impacts on multiple levels. There is also a great emphasis on presenting one’s research and ideas. This experience provided me with the practical skills I needed to step into the role of influencer and disseminator with enormous impact potential.
GCNYC professors walk the walk and talk the talk. They want to change the world for the better. They want to help their students change the world for the better. They have a true understanding of the industry, its ecosystem and what it takes to become a part of it and make an impact. It’s very inspiring.
