  • Fashion with a Purpose: Sustainability, Empowerment, Inclusivity
    Fashion With A Purpose: Sustainability, Empowerment, Inclusivity While the majority of fashion still revolves around trendy, outlandish apparel intended to make a statement, create a sense of exclusivity and incite superficial gossip, it has evolved to become something far more meaningful. Now a vehicle for female empowerment, diversity and to champion environmental issues (a large portion of which admittedly stem from the industry itself), fashion as a tool to unite people and create positive change has never been more worth celebrating. Environmental devastation throughout the history of the fashion industry has been rampant. Trends come and go at the click of a button and many fast fashion brands have turnover rates of less than a day. But consumers have become increasingly aware of the unethical and unsustainable practices and their purchasing choices have begun to shift - buyers no longer desire flashy and erratic outfits that succumb to fleeting trends. The growing awareness and widespread sharing on social media of the absurd levels of textile waste, water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions caused by the industry have resulted in fast- fashion brands taking a huge hit - H&M closed down 160 stores last year, announcing in March 2018 that it had US$4.3billion worth of unsold inventory. A majority of consumers, particularly from the younger generations, have become eco-conscious, opting instead for sustainably produced apparel which they are willing to pay a premium for. According to a Nielsen poll surveying 30,000 consumers across 60 countries, 73% of Millennials have demonstrated a willingness to pay more for products that are sustainable.

  • Press 3 February 2021 the 25 Defining Works of the Black
    TIME The 25 Defining Works of the Black Renaissance 3 February 2021 The 25 Defining Works of the Black Renaissance “I’m rooting for everybody Black.” So said Issa Rae on the red carpet at the 2017 Emmy Awards, capturing the electricity of a moment when “everybody Black” referred to quite a large group of ascendant voices—not only those up for awards that night, and not only those in Hollywood, but artists across the cultural landscape. While there has never been a shortage of Black artists making great work, the past six or so years have seen these creators claiming the spotlight like never before. Image: O.J. Made in America: ESPN Films/Everett Collection; Slave Play: Sarah Krulwich—The New York Times/Redux; Black Panther: Marvel/Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures/Everett Collection; Getty Images In fact, the hardest part of compiling this list of 25 works that have defined the current Black Renaissance was coming to terms with what had to be left out: vital films, series, albums, books, poetry collections, plays and works of fashion. For guidance, TIME assembled some of the era’s most influential figures—artists who have also become advocates, mentors and changemakers—to help curate the list. These luminaries across disciplines voted on hundreds of works to reach a compilation of original, ambitious art, from paintings that will live in perpetuity in the National Portrait Gallery to music that became the soundtrack to a movement; books about marriage and memory and TV series that are as weird as they are wise. The works of this new canon are defined by their breadth and diversity—a movement of pop stars and public intellectuals, superheroes and screwups, horror and ecstasy, individuality and unity.

The class is made up of 1% international, 6% Asian, 18% African-American, 19% Hispanic, 50% white and 6% other ethnicities or multi-ethnic students. Over the past four years, each of the classes has grown in diversity: 50% of freshmen, 40% of sophomores, 43% of juniors, and 40% of seniors are people of color, according to Vice President of Enrollment Management Drew Aromando. “I believe that Rider is a place where individuals are respected for who they are, and are supported to achieve their personal success,” said Vice President for Student Affairs Leanna Fenneberg. “Realizing that students who attend college who have identities that are underrepresented, marginalized or under-resourced may face additional challenges to achieve their personal success, it is incumbent upon the university to offer sincere and appropriate support.
