[Student Reporter] FIT Students Attend the 2024 KSFB Conference On Saturday, December 7th, FIT students and faculty went to Hanyang University Erica Campus to learn from and connect with fashion experts from around the world. This conference, held by the Korean Society of Fashion Business, focused on the future of K-Fashion as we enter the digital age, and what this means for sustainability. The conference had two keynote lecturers, the first being Professor Ali Howell Abolo, from Drexel University, USA. Her presentation explored reviewing a company's sustainability through multiple lenses: not simply through an eco-friendly frame but a social and economic one as well. Afterwards, Shuxin Cheng, Co-founder of SCRY, spoke about the beauty of innovation through digital design and launches, showing how growing a brand digitally can reap big rewards sustainably. Between the two speakers, the audience was able to gain inspiration on how to go about promoting holistic sustainability; additionally, they learned a new model of business creation by going virtual. Following the keynote lecture, an international forum was held by four speakers: Alexander Ruth, founder of PROFESSOR; Jimmyn Parc, professor at the University of Malaya; Jin-Hee Yoon, director of the entertainment division at JTBC; and Jaewon Sheol, editor-in-chief of Cultura. Each focused on different aspects of fashion and media as it concerns Korea on the global stage, from set design, to film, to K-pop. Their executive insight was a large inspiration to the many fashion leaders, professors, and students who attended. The discussions led to casual networking and the growth of new concepts as attendees bounced ideas and asked questions concerning the future of fashion business and design. The Korean Society of Fashion Business was founded in 1996 to nurture a relationship between academia and fashion. The committee hosts conferences, publishes research, and promotes international exchanges to develop the presence of Korean fashion initiatives globally. This conference was an eye-opening opportunity for FIT students and faculty to expand their knowledge and think critically about the current global shifts in the industry as times change and interest in the Korean market expands.

[Student Reporter] Innovative Ideas Shine at SUNY Korea's Fall 2024 ME Final Project Showcase On Thursday, December 5, 2024, SUNY Korea hosted its annual Mechanical Engineering Final Project Showcase from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the Doosan Dream Makerspace (IGC Building B1093). The event provided students with an opportunity to present their innovative projects to peers, faculty, and visitors. Projects ranged from AI-based pothole detection systems to student-manufactured items and even casino slot machine prototypes which reflected the creativity and engineering skills of participants. The showcase featured three main sections: MEC 440/441 project presentations, MEC 325 project showcases, and MEC 101 presentations. Dr. Hamid Hefazi delivered the opening remarks, setting the start for an engaging and insightful event. Closing remarks concluded the showcase at 6:00 PM, celebrating the students’ hard work and achievements. Claire, a senior participant, shared her reflections on the experience: “The senior design project was a challenging but rewarding experience. Over the course of a year, my team and I worked through countless iterations, using tools like CAD and FEA simulations to design, prototype, and refine our idea. Our journey wasn’t always smooth—there were plenty of late nights troubleshooting and rethinking our approach—but those moments taught me the value of teamwork and adaptability. Presenting our project at the ME final showcase was a proud moment. It felt amazing to share what we had worked so hard on with peers, professors, and our advisor. Seeing everything come together made all the effort worth it and reinforced my passion for hands-on engineering and problem-solving.” The event not only highlighted the students’ technical knowledge and problem-solving skills, but also demonstrated their creativity skills and teamwork. As the event came to a close, the showcase served as an important reminder for students to address real world challenges and inspire a passion for their engineering interests.
