Clubs and Activities

Clubs play an integral part in the social lives of FIT students. Student club activities make up an important part of student life for FIT SUNY Korea students. FIT SUNY Korea clubs offer students the opportunity to further develop their interests and passions in a variety of fashion-related areas. FIT students find community in 6-clubs student clubs and organizations on campus. These clubs connect students with shared interests, identities, and perspectives.

Club activities will enrich your student experience and help you grow as a person. There is a wide range of clubs available, focusing on body research, 3D technology, publishing, retailing and sustainability.

Students often join these clubs during their first year to pursue their passions and make friends that can last a lifetime. By spending time together and contributing to a group effort, students are able to connect with like-minded people who share the same opinions, ideas, or interests.

Students are allowed to join more than one club as a member and may also run for an elected officer position. At the beginning of each spring semester, learn more by attending the Club Fair.

MERCHANDISE SOCIETY CLUB

The mission of the Merchandising Society club is to enhance our members’ college experience by exposing them to all facets of the fashion industry”. We do this through experience with community service, fundraising, networking opportunities, corporate visits, and collaboration with outside companies.

The Merchandising Society operates the on-campus boutique, located on the 6th floor of the C building at the FIT SUNY Korea campus. The Retail Revolution shop was created by the Merchandising Society to provide students with “real world” retail experience. Students serve as buyers, managers, designers, retail sales associates, marketing, and other key industry roles. The shop curates our store’s very own product development, and an assortment of must-have products.

NATURAL DYE GARDEN CLUB

The Natural Dye Garden Club (NDGC) is a student-run organization dedicated to developing sustainable approaches to textile and fashion design.

The natural dye garden project addresses global challenges and underscores FIT's commitment to sustainability. The project involves a roof top dye/plant garden which also incorporates rain collection and composting. The Rooftop Natural Dye Garden is connected to the Fiber Research and Natural Dye laboratory, where teams of students perform natural dye research using organic compounds produced by living organisms.

Global textile production places an alarmingly heavy burden on this planet's resources. Excess water use, toxic effluents, the use of petrochemicals on fiber plants as well as in synthetic dyes, and intensive farming practices are all problems that directly contribute to climate change. In this project, student design-teams at FIT SUNY Korea will discover new dying methods through hands-on exploration of natural plants, and more importantly, give the FIT population a tangible way to move away from these practices.

BODY SCAN STUDY

As a fit and sizing expert, Alvanon have been studying different body sizing and shapes in terms of their demographic population. Specific to Korea, they have body data,findings and analysis based on demographic information. They also know that there are some sizing studies published by the government and health organisations in Korea; therefore, Alvanon is hoping to have a better understanding of the papers released by these parties, and will compare if there’s a significant difference in our findings with these reports.

To that end, Alvanon is interested in understanding more about the Korean body and sizing. SUNY, as their key academic partner in Korea, is always the first one to come up with any collaborative projects in this area. Currently, we are thinking about inviting SUNY to conduct a Korean sizing study with us.
