Central Washington University has honed me in many ways as an adult and as a student. To be specific the Fashion Merchandising program has allowed me to hone my craft in ways that I did not know were possible. From my Principles of Selling class to my Consumer Textiles classes, I have had a great experience! These classes prepare us for the fashion industry as a whole. I know for me, that I still use the techniques learned in Digital Presentation Technique to this day. This class prepared me in a huge way for my own clothing brand and gave me a complete portfolio full of beautiful technical flats. Learning about stitch types and fabrics in this industry is extremely important in this industry and Consumer Textiles helped me with that. Overall, the program at CWU is very helpful in real life situations, especially if you are in the fashion industry. I'm proud to call myself a Wildcat for the rest of my life because of this school and this program.
