FASH455 Global Apparel & Textile Trade and Sourcing 
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about Lora’s experience within the sourcing department at QVC. I always find it very enlightening to hear about people who graduated from UD and what path their studies led them down. It is always encouraging to see someone from the UD fashion department not only be able to become employed after graduation but to hear about how they are able to use what they learned in classes such as FASH 455 and apply it to their careers.
