 ashion merchandise majors on campus took a step into the business world with the
opening of the "Creative Collections" store. This being the second annual store, the students have planned,
coordinated and executed the store for their experience in the retail field. The fashion merchandise students
started the project seven weeks ago. The students worked on promotion and background work, which included
recruiting vendors for participating in the store. Greg Jagodzinski, a senior in fashion merchandise, is the
manager of the store. Jagodzinski and eight other fashion merchandise majors were responsible for all the
transactions and records involved with the store. The coordinator for the store is Professor Robyn Morin, who
assisted and advised the students. The class received its merchandise from vendors from around the area. The
types of products which are located in the store are basically handmade articles. The price of the merchandise
ranges from $1 to $100. The store is open for 11 days and closes March 26. Professor Morin expressed the
importance of the store to the university and to the community. "I think one very unique aspect that comes out
of the ship is that it does mix the university and the community. Because we are dealing with the community people,
we also help them promote their talents. It gives them more of an idea what the university does." Professor Morin
foresees the continuation of the store in the upcoming years: "If the department deems it important, they'll have it
again next year." Morin stressed the importance of the students' participation in the store as a building
experience, "gaining the entrepreneurship skills through the process of opening and closing a store." The store
is located in room 127 in the College of Professional Studies Building. Also, on March 20-21, there will be a
special event which entails a $10 gift certificate awarded to the person who guesses how many jelly beans are in a
jar.
