The Student Story

"It was very inspiring. I'm already thinking about how I want to set up my future line for the MODA (Merchandising Opportunities and Design Association) spring show, what I want to do for my senior thesis and things like that, thinking about how extravagant and how camp I want to be with them."

- Grace Stibich

"I'm a first-generation college student. My family is ecstatic," adds Morehead, who grew up in Clarkston, Michigan. "My dad was emotional and in disbelief. Having this opportunity on behalf of the University is astounding; I'm still in shock. I may not get over it until I'm on the plane to New York. I cannot thank Western enough."

- Samatha Morehead

"It was kind of surreal. One of my favorite things to do during these fashion weeks is to sit down at the computer and watch videos as models are coming out," LeKander says. "Then, to actually be sitting in the room and be one of those people in the audience that I've only ever seen on my computer screen鈥攚ow."
