The Fashion Industry Advisory Board helps LIM College fulfill its mission and strengthen many of the services the College provides to students.  

The Advisory Board is composed of successful executives from a broad variety of areas in fashion and its related industries, including manufacturing, licensing, accessories, sales, store design, media, public relations, digital marketing, executive recruiting, merchandising, supply chain, and retail management.  

Advisory Board members assist and advise the College in areas such as curriculum, long-range planning, career development, and industry relations. To that end, Board Members collaborate with faculty and staff to provide experiential educational opportunities that support academic programs; mentor students and provide feedback on their resumes and selected course projects; host site visits; guest lecture in classes; hire students for internships and permanent jobs; and help LIM College identify new areas of study. Advisory Board members also expose LIM students to emerging trends and new business categories and connect students with industry experts.
