Award winning faculty with industry experience

"The St. Kate's fashion program is a close-knit community, where strong relationships form between ´ºÓêÖ±²¥s and faculty due to our small class sizes. We place an emphasis on creating leaders in the fashion industry who are fashion innovators and change agents. Our ´ºÓêÖ±²¥s have the unique opportunity to partner with leading fashion brands in Minnesota on course projects and competitions, preparing them for successful careers upon graduation." – Jacqueline Parr, assistant professor
