From Sidney Young

Oh how bittersweet it is to be writing this. To start off, I joined Sartorial in the fall of 2017. During my second semester in the fashion program, I was encouraged by a friend to join Sartorial just for fun. After a couple of meetings I got the position of Lifestyle Director and had made so many new friends. Sartorial was a platform to show off my skills and interests and a huge motivator to keep me involved in school and work hard through my classes. It kept me thinking of my future and helped me narrow down what creative field I liked most. 

I learned so many things through my experience; how to work with an artistic collective, communicate with confidence, collaborate with others in a professional manner, to advise and teach in a positive and constructive way.  The content that I have produced for Sartorial is some of my favorite work to this day. With such a big team and resources available, I was able to make a lot of visions come to life. 

Now in my third year, acting as President and weeks away from graduating, I am so thankful for the skills I’ve gained. From planning and managing, relationships I’ve built, the time I’ve spent creating and producing have all made such a profound impact on my personal life and my professional career. I want to thank anyone who has encouraged me along the way and supported Sartorial in any form. A few words for the current members: I know you all are going to do amazing things. Don’t ever let anyone intimidate you. Plan ahead, listen to your intuition, and always be thinking outside of the box.  

This publication brings students together to realize their potential and talents. The things I’ve learned, experiences I’ve gained and memories I’ve made over the last few years is something that I will forever hold valuable. 

Cheers,

Sidney Young
