FIT’s Alumni Advisory Council, formed in January, is a diverse coalition of 14 successful grads who help steer the college’s alumni engagement strategy, making events and other programs more meaningful and relevant to the widest possible audience. The group has helped plan FIT’s Entrepreneurship Summit, upcoming at Spring Place, an exclusive club in Tribeca.

Members include Marielle Bobo, Fashion Merchandising Management ’01, editor-in-chief and senior vice president of programming at EBONY Media; Corey Moran, Cosmetics and Fragrance Marketing and Management ’15, head of industry, fashion, and luxury at Google; and Molly Taylor, Fashion Buying and Merchandising ’88, chief merchant at Saks Off Fifth.

“It really feels like we are starting something big,” says Liz Manalio, director of Alumni Relations for the FIT Foundation. “They are changing the face of alumni engagement at FIT.”
