Become a Sponsor of Univ. of Rhode Island Textile "Spring Splash"

The Textiles, Fashion Merchandising and Design Department ("TMD") and the Textile Advisory Board at the University of Rhode Island invite you to become a sponsor of Spring Splash 2015: Designers in Bloom, to be held on Friday, April 10, 2015.

For more than ten years, Spring Splash has raised funds to support student scholarships and activities directly related to the education of TMD students. Outstanding alums and industry partners are recognized, scholarships awarded, and fashion show winners selected. As attendees from years past will attest, it is a truly fun night for everyone involved and is a great benefit to the graduate students, graduating seniors, and continuing undergraduates. This year, the evening begins with a cocktail reception and dinner and culminates with a fashion show and awards ceremony. Textile, Fashion Merchandising and Design students work with faculty to organize the entire event. The design students present their spring lines of fashion, which they work on all year, independent of formal classes!

Fellow students volunteer as models. In addition, other academic achievements within the TMD program are highlighted. The audience will have the opportunity to assist in the selection of awardees!

The TMD Department offers two Bachelor of Science degrees, one in Textile Marketing and the other in Textiles, Fashion Merchandising and Design, as well as a Master of Science degree. TMD provides a university experience along with specialized education in the design, production and merchandising of textile and fashion products.

Approximately 300 students are enrolled in the programs and come from all over the country and abroad. Students do international internships in China, France, Italy, Great Britain, as well as New York and Los Angeles. Many successful textile and fashion companies hire our graduates because they value the exceptional caliber of TMD students and the quality of the education we provide.

To ensure the success of Spring Splash 2015 and future TMD student-centered programming and scholarships, the Textile Advisory Board, of which David Trumbull, principal, Agathon Associates, is a member, seeks sponsors at four levels. The benefits afforded to sponsors at each level are detailed below attachment. Beyond the tangible benefits, however, is the satisfaction of helping to develop future professionals in the textile, apparel and merchandising industries.

Please contact Dr. Susan Hannel, Department Chair, at shannel@uri.edu or 401.874.2882, or Karin Conopask, Director of Development for the College of Human Science and Services, at kconopask@uri.edu or 401-874-5745 for additional information about becoming a sponsor.
